Amateurs like us can play and reshoot until we get what we want but most of my coin photos are limited by the fact that my coins have details that I would prefer not show quite so clearly. Few of us are really fond of the photo on our drivers license mostly because it looks like us. </p><p><br /></p><p>The seller of this coin noted that it really looks better if viewed from a distance where the patchy silvering becomes less troubling. The coin does look better at arms length than magnified in a photo. Does anyone know how to remove silver either from the coin or from the photo? How many failed photo attempts will be required befor this coin looks decent? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1378603[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
