<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 25459600, member: 116145"]I take such bad pictures that when I proudly posted my first coin / story (my 1916 SLQ) after years of just reading posts / sitting in the background, I was immediately accused of posting a fake or being an idiot with a 1917 Type 1 no date. While I continue to improve my skills, that first outing burned me pretty good and I'm hesitant to brag on certain coins (even if they are, like my 1916, certified and graded by ANACS, PCGS, ICG or NGC). I just don't need the negativity. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said (sorry for that sourness, it just stirred a bad memory) I learned here about the using a can or stack of books to raise and steady my iPhone over a coin that is placed on a bottle cap. With good lighting, that often works pretty well for me. I think having good eyesight (which I do not) is really the capper to getting good photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
