    Michelle, You made really good pictures for a start, here are some tips for the future:

    For full coin pics, try to crop out any excess for a full image.

    2 low power bulbs of 25-40 watts at 10 and 2 o’clock will balance your illumination and help cut down on glare.

    Close-ups get very pixelated at extreme magnification if you have a scope with less than 3MP so you’ll have to test the limits of your new scope.

    As you already see, just moderate magnification starkly shows every single little defect in the coins surface so you will have to learn how to take better shots that doesn’t emphasize them.

    Coin Talk is dependent on pictures for members to offer opinions, so be sure to post in-focus, clear photos.

    Remember, we are here to help you learn so do your own research and ask your questions. Members here pride themselves to provide accurate information to your questions…hope this helps…imo…Spark
