Bruceswar Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I think it was nailed at MS66, but not being able to see the luster makes it hard to be 100% sure. Thats the big factor from MS66 to MS67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Luster is important on getting an MS67, but I think your coin has too many distractions on the obverse to have it easily slide into the MS67 grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing. 1 too many small hits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 TomB.. BTW …. Aside from the brownish discoloration, couldn’t the skull crack be considered a distraction? Bruce, as for the hits, IMHO they are so minute, however I do agree about the luster factor and this one seems to have more frost. I haven’t received it yet and this is the auction photo. And I am looking for a 67 for my mint set. One I can afford. Thanks to both of you for your replys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruceswar Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I hope you score, but I just don't see it. That luster needs to be killer with a great strike. Hits get looked after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkyMan95 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Added a few weeks ago. Got a great deal in a trade with another member who shall remain anonymous (unless he/she chooses to name themselves). My first FT dime! Do you think my photography is getting better? I used all natural light, and the photo seemed to come out better. Thoughts?

kryptonitecomics Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Do you have macro on the camera? Dimes are tough becuase they are so small so what I typically do is adjust the settings so that the image is rahter large.....at least 1 to 2 MBs each and then when I crop etc that image is still rather large and you can still see all of the fine details on the coin. With Morgans etc this isn't necessary.... I personally never shoot under natural light but some folks swear by it so you just have to find the sweet spot with regards to what works for you....

MunkyMan95 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Dunno about a macro feature... I took these pics with the same camera under the same light and I think it came out a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonitecomics Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 If you want the best photos with lots of detail then you need a camera with Macro. It looks like you are getting pretty close to the slab and while they are a little out of focus I don't think the images look bad at all. One of the things most of us try to avoid though is getting the camera or our hand reflected on the coin we are imaging which seems to be the case in both of your photos. It can be tricky expecially when dealing with the Mirrors of a proof coin but it's worth the practice as it makes for a better overall image.
