<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgan1878, post: 556158, member: 17869&quot;]One thing I&#039;m learning when I take these photos is the lighting source can make quite a difference.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The light source for this photo was a halogen lamp. While I have several manual settings for different types of light (sun, cloudy, tungsten, flourescent), I noticed all of them gave the coin a reddish cast. I used my software to correct the color somewhat, but the coin has a fair amount more &quot;white&quot; luster than the photo shows and does have &quot;cartwheel effect&quot; on both sides (more so on the reverse).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, I graded this coin at MS-63, but being a beginner at this, your grade could be spot on as well. In any case, we&#039;re not far apart..</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think taking photos in natural sunlight would be the best light source and would result in a truer reproduction of the coin&#039;s qualities. No way to do that today as it never stopped raining.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for your post![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
