Im not quite sure about this coin. I know it has a very frosty appearance, cameo like finish, it also has full steps on the reverse. im still working on my grading abilities, and may be unsure on this. the pictures i attached may not be the best, but they seem to be good enough to make a rough assesment for the trained eye. any help on this would be greatly appreciated. thank you very much for your time and attention.
what equipment would i need to get more useful images. i only have a 9 mp camera! is there a special camera that can magnifiy coins well?
I think you need something with macro lens capability. Guessing grades anywhere near accurately, can be very difficult, even with excellent images. But when the pictures don't allow for a good look at the coin's surfaces, it's impossible.
I am sure any camera with 9 "mp" (does that mean meg) has a macro function. Beyond that, the biggest trick is the lighting and being able to crop the picture. One member here uses a 2 meg camera and takes some of the better pictures here
