    I voted right, just because the left is obviously better and will win

    Right - I like the improved contrast, even taking into account the slab glare on the upper left and the slight loss of color along the bottom rim.

    The one that best represents the toning and luster of the coin in hand.

    I voted right , just like the way it looks . To me it makes the coin look nicer than the pic on the left .

    I voted left because there isn't the halo of glare across the coin by PLURIBUS. You could always reduce the exposure of the left shot, but spot removing the glare is a bit more complex.

    The left photo was taken using my normal setup with my digital camera, copy stand, and 2 fluorescent lights at 10 & 2 with the appropriate white balance setting. The photo accurately depicts the color of the coin.

    The right photo was taken free hand with my iPhone6. Not bad for a cellphone camera!

    WOW - did not realize the right one was from an iphone. That is a really good picture for a phone. The only reason I voted left was because of the glare on the right.

    Great pic from an I-phone . I may just have to break down and get one . But I do love my flip top with no camera .
