Might be quicker for Ms Hunt1 to find a copy of Coins magazine, Just a thought.

 

He's still going to have to learn some of the rudimentary fundamentals of grading.

I found the cable to my camera!!!!!!!!

 

Doc U Ment

Doc U Mint,
So what is a 43 HP Austen Headly Sprite, never heard of one of those.

Steve

 

i think its a car o.o

 

It's a British 2-seater sports car. "Bugeye" refers to the headlamps that are mounted on the outside of the front end rather than built-in like most headlights.

Chris

 

So i actually got something right. Chris when i try to take the picture of my coins it doesnt appear good should i use a ceiling light and a lamp or just a lamp or what?

 

Cable Ready

BugEye Sprite.......Photos ready?

It had 43 stock Horse power 4 banger but could leave a chasing '66 Vette hanging off the side of a cliff on a good winding road.

(Know how I know 8^)

 

What kind of camera are you using? Is it a digital format?

Chris

 

A sony smart zoom 3.2 mega pixel digital

 

Yeah, those little sports cars..........MG, Triumph, Austen Healey.........they were a lot of fun!

Chris

 

But yea its digital.

 

Learn all kinds of things around here. Sharp Little car, and looks fine as well. Thanks fellas.

 

Check your settings to see which lighting condition options you have.........sunlight, tungsten, fluorescent, etc. You may also want to check your white balance.

Thread HiJack

This thread just brought back a flash from my Navy Daze when we had a offbase household where we kept our Sailor Toys:

One Mini Cooper Fully Abbarthed
One Morgan
My Alpha TI
and one Spitefire.

Weekends were more fun back then and we were immortal and could ratrace through Redwood City and beyond.

 

Is it possible that morgan 8TF i have that i said was VF could be abetter grade or worse, that the dealer mis-graded is...does that happen?

 

Grading is a matter of opinion. No two people will grade a coin exactly the same for the same reason. Remember this when you go to sell you coins and the dealer says that they aren't of the grade that they say they are......just tell him, "yeah, in your opinion." Be ready to pick up your coins and sell nothing if you can't get the buyer to give a fair price based on a fair assessment of the coin.

As for photographs, I have found that plenty of ambient light and not getting to close to the coin works best. The closer you get to the coin the more out of focus it appears to be or the harder it is for the camera to focus, as you might be inside of the camera focal point if you get too close. If you want the details import the photo to something like photoshop and enlarge. Hope these tips help.

 

I sorry but there is not enough Liquor to make me want to take her home. Ice
