If you don't know, I'm probably the most avid fan/collector of the Memorial series on this forum. Any time you want to discuss them, let me know!...
That phone and your light are doing a great job! Your pictures are better than most peoples that I see. The first coin is your best by far. PCGS...
Another typical example, slightly better than most. 64
Small date, pretty typical example, slightly better than avg. These are VERY tough to find 67 up. 64RD
NO, technically it's an error but a very common and minor one. Most collectors don't like them unless a lot of the design elements are missing. I...

Exactly! If I'm after single pictures, I usually move my light, check, move the light check, over and over and over until I feel the picture will...
I use that method too, I can move my light in infinite ways....that's really best way to take coin pictures. Fixed lighting just doesn't work well...
Don't know the series but looks non-MA to my eyes. If that's actually what it looks like, I'd run from it.
MA toning....beautiful coin BTW! 1909's like that are rarer than the VDB.
