    I couldn’t tell you what my first gold coin was but I can tell you it was a $2.50 Quarter Eagle Indian. Now I have the entire set, including strong and weak 1911-D’s.

    I'm far from a photography expert and at most I use the presets on my Galaxy S24...if anybody knows if changing any variables like ISO or any of that other stuff makes a big difference when shooting coins at close-range with an LED or frosted light source illuminating the coin, feel free to chime in.

    My plan was to get an Indian Quarter Eagle, but I just couldn't pass up on this one. The Indian is the next gold coin on my list
