OK, I finished the 1:30 and 10:30 setup... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Then I tried a slight modification (blacked out the outer most LEDs)... [IMG]...
OK, here is the new file with two LEDs (well, 3 in each group) at 1:30, and 10:30 (90 degrees apart). [IMG] I also found out I need to redesign...
OK, so now its 10:30 and 1:30? No problem, it is not too difficult to modify my CAD model. Also of note, I happen to own a much nicer camera...
I am going to redesign this based on the 10 and 2 dual lighting suggestion to see what results I get. I will then try adding the diffused lighting...
Here are two photos I just took with this exact setup and my iPhone 7... What suggestions does everyone have to improve them? Yesterday I played...
In an effort to help others on a budget take better photos of their coins, I have come up with the following. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
Your attempt to be helpful is appreciated. Like the whole Internet, this thread is forever. Anyone reading this today or years from now will be...
I am having a very difficult time trying to photograph this gold coin. I cannot get much for sharpness, and the color looks way off. The coin in...
I have read a lot about these coins not always being fully stuck. That coupled with countless photos of other graded coins I looked at gave me...

WOW! I thought it was kind of obvious that by stating "way ahead of you", I was referring to the fact I had already bought some graded Morgans as...
I am way ahead of you. Last month I bought these graded coins. After looking over the PCGS Photograde, I realized I need the real thing in hand...

Thank you very much for this! Your post has been the single most helpful tidbit of information in the past month I have been playing around with...
These photos are likely of little use, as I have not figured out a good way to get rid of light reflections from slabbed coins yet... [IMG] [IMG]
I am curious what grade others think this coin is. I apologize for the photo quality, I took these pictures with a USB microscope. I have...
I have an 1880-S which has a lot of luster, but I chose not to grade it due to a gouge in the reverse. After closer inspection today, I think the...
This is another coin I have. I put some arrows on key places I have been looking for wearing. Am I looking in the right spots? The hair looked...
Thank you for the honesty, it will be a rough weekend for me. I have to come to grips with the stack of Morgans I have sitting here which look...
What makes it grade so low? The quantity of scratches? I bought 4 graded Morgans, NGC 61, NGC 63, PCGS 63, and NGC 65 to use as comparisons in an...
