I'm really bad at taking pics

There is just slight yellow tarnish in spots, but you need to look for it.

alright that is harder then i thought to recreate a coin i never seen! it may not look right, actually i am sure it wont. but with a bit of tinkering you can make your picture a lot better.





so i was just going by the obverse and noticed on the reverse your lighting is focused on the left side of the coin more. this can be fixed to an extent, but i left it to show you.

 

None? Maybe it is dipped. Its an 80 year old silver coin.

Ok, that makes some sense. I'm going to play with this in some natural and mr16 tomorrow and see if I can get them to look like they actually do. Thanks for the help.

 

I do not know if this will help any but when I take pictures of my silver bars, I use a dark background to get the coin to stand out because since it is silver, it tends to show up as too shiny on a picture if there is too much light and if it is at a bad angle.

BTW I have a Polaroid T1031 digital camera (10 Mega pixels) and I use a mini-tripod and I try to take outside pictures under a setting where there is not too much light. The right amount of lighting can show the details of a silver coin or bar without it looking too shiny in the picture.

Just my 0.02.

 

This is good photography. Close detailed shot with great lighting.
