I’ve been very happy with the NGC Photovision pics they took of my ancients, FWIW. Not the same thing as a toned Morgan, but the photos have been...
PS- I like the top TrueView better. It makes the violet patch in right obverse field pop.
I wouldn't try again. It's a pretty coin, but there must be something going on that triggers them to details grade it each time. Of course if...
Like this. Or my box demonstration. You're still not getting the part about having the phone directly above the coin.

I use the camera in my iPhone XR. I wouldn't say I get professional results, but they're certainly serviceable. The gradient backgrounds are...
Try it outside of the holder. A scanner can never compete with a camera- even a phone camera- but it can produce adequate results with the coin...

Whimsical. Kinda fun.
I don't, personally, but thought I'd put it in front of more eyes. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Wow! That’s great! Had never heard of it. The gal in the photo looks pretty comely, bicycle face or no… ;)
Nooo! Not… *gasp!* … bicycle face! Wait, what? o_O
