<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 8599095, member: 106826&quot;]Hi Salvatore,</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ll often find that members need a few essential photos: full obverse, full reverse, and a photo or two of the subject area of the coin.&nbsp; The trouble with digital microscopes is that they often cannot take full images of the coin and the magnification/digitization of the subject area is less than desirable.&nbsp; As Sal has offered, using a setup like that will allow you to achieve photos that members here can use.&nbsp; This is not to say that you can&#039;t be successful with a digital microscope.&nbsp; Folks here have demonstrated that. </p><p><br /></p><p>Proper lighting is also a challenge using digital microscopes.&nbsp; And diffusing the lighting is more challenging.&nbsp; Your photos have a blue hue to them and are dark.&nbsp; Finding the right lighting and balance will help members perform diagnostics.</p><p><br /></p><p>This all said, I don&#039;t see anything out of the ordinary for your specimens.&nbsp; Another thing to remember is that a thread title with relevant information will help attract members - something like &quot;Possible 1937 D Buffalo Nickel, 3-legged&quot; will create interest and help isolate what variety you are asking for help on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck on the photos.&nbsp; For me, it&#039;s half the fun![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
