<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2619559, member: 1892"]Your camera is old, but it has the distinct advantage of relatively large physical pixels. All point-and-shoots are a compromise, and Macro imaging tends to be a low priority in the compromise process, so modern high-megapixel cameras don't always receive a lot of attention regarding software processing of Macro images. "Good enough" tends to be the default, and we're pixel-peepers in this business. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It seems you've already figured out what works best with your particular kit - your images are pretty decent, shot nicely square and appropriately cropped.</p><p><br /></p><p>That's one_lovely 1914-D, which certainly didn't get very much circulation. Might we see the reverse? I see nothing on the obverse to make me believe the coin is worth less than $1000....these have a large value jump between XF and AU and this one certainly seems to fall into the latter category.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2619559, member: 1892"]Your camera is old, but it has the distinct advantage of relatively large physical pixels.

"Good enough" tends to be the default, and we're pixel-peepers in this business. :) It seems you've already figured out what works best with your particular kit - your images are pretty decent, shot nicely square and appropriately cropped. That's one_lovely 1914-D, which certainly didn't get very much circulation. Might we see the reverse?
