If you only see a couple tiny ticks with the naked eye, id send it to PCGS. They are worth alot in ms66rd! I sent a 1954 and it came back ms65, if it made ms66 it would be worth so much! Even an ms65 is worth alot, but much less than ms66 Define "a lot". To me, a 66rd '40d is a $25 coin. In my case, I'd be lucky to get a rd and not an rb which is a $15 coin... __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%)   07-10-2009, 05:03 PM   #3 (permalink) the_man12 Amateur Photographer     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Illinois Posts: 2,955 My Mood: Here are my new pictures: __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%)   07-10-2009, 05:06 PM   #4 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,352 My Mood: That coin doesn't even look the same!

BTW, you take bigger pics and shrink the pic to fit on the net (usually). If you take little pics, they will always be blurry when you enlarge them. Anyway, I am still at a solid 65 or maybe a little better. __________________ The monkeys stand for honesty, Giraffes are insincere, And the elephants are kindly but They're dumb.

Anyway, I am still at a solid 65 or maybe a little better. How big do you need them? I have my camera 5" away from the coin with 3x zoom which is the most my camera can do. If I get any closer, the camera blocks the light so If you want a really big picture of it with a shadow over it, I can do that, but otherwise, I don't see anything else I can do. __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%)   07-10-2009, 11:39 PM   #9 (permalink) the_man12 Amateur Photographer     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Illinois Posts: 2,955 My Mood: __________________ 20th Century Uncirculated Whitman Type Set Folder: 32/37 (86.5%) Last edited by the_man12; 07-10-2009 at 11:43 PM.   07-10-2009, 11:44 PM   #10 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,352 My Mood: Your pictures are good, but they are still small, to small to see anything. I wish I had a picture of a wheat cent, but I don't. Try to set your camera to the max setting of megapixels (mine is a 6 MP camera, and that is what I shoot with 6 MP) See how big this picture is? Try and get your wheat near the size of this, so we can see the details up close on the coin. __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   07-11-2009, 12:21 AM   #11 (permalink) the_man12 Amateur Photographer     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Illinois Posts: 2,955 My Mood: And it's nice and easy with silver dollars...
