1815 Capped Bust Half, New (BETTER) Pictures

Check out these pics when compared to the old set I posted. I used a combination of neon & natural lighting on the 2nd set when compared to the first which was simply a 100 wat bulb and lampshade.

Which looks more like the coin in-hand ? I'm guessing #1.

Also... I haven't mastered "white balancing". Did you use that on these ?

 

Yep, the coin on top is more indicative of what it looks like in hand and IF I had guts, I would crack this one out, LOL cause the slab is older and scuffed up some.

No, I had the white balance was off, the overcast sky and pale blue tone of the neon gave it this look.

Two words -- white balance.

Work on it, you still have issues. Otherwise the photos look nice -- well lit, well exposed and well focused.

Ben,
That is quite a nice example of an 1815 you have there. Congrats! I would grade it a solid 30 shot 35 in my opinion. :bow:

 

Thanks BiG Z, It was my late B-Day/Christmas present all rolled into one last year, LOL...
