    Here is one of my favorites, albeit generic, Morgans are nice and photogenic. This one is MS-65 CAC in an old NGC slab. Camera is (similar to so many others here) a Nikon D5200 with the standard "included" lens, using diffused natural light and just me holding it (no tripod).

    Offered just to make the point that not all coins are shiny. The bottom part is a 100% crop unreduced.
