<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 552674, member: 7638&quot;]I haven&#039;t tried to attribute them. I&#039;m afraid if I buy Overton/Souders/Parsley I&#039;ll become an addict!!! Just say NO!! Actually, I may have inhaled already. The number of bust halves in my collection keeps going up, and I seem to have acquired 3 1829&#039;s without realizing it. Most of them are affordable in the middle grades, and they are just darned nice looking coins. Thanks for the kind remarks. </p><p><br /></p><p>My photo quality improved all of a sudden. I bought an old, manual micro-Nikkor and stuck it on my wife&#039;s D-40, got an old testrite copy stand, reset the white balance and got to work. These were photo&#039;d using 2 75 watt daylight bulbs in the goosenecks that came with the stand. I set the white balance using the stand baseboard, which is helpfully colored gray. focusing is the hardest thing, as the old lens doesn&#039;t have a grid or split screen. holding a magnifier over the camera viewer and stopping down to f-16 helps some.</p><p>Thanks, Idhair. I resized the pillar dollar as you suggested and it worked fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
