<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1200687, member: 26030&quot;]Thanks for all the comments!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>sodude, yes that really is a scrawny eagle!&nbsp; It&#039;s more like a pigeon or something.</p><p><br /></p><p>calum, yes a nice frankie was hard to find.&nbsp; I&#039;ve looked through archives of thousands before I stumbled on that beauty last weekend.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>kanga, you have 14 of 16 varieties ... that&#039;s fantastic!!!&nbsp; yes, the small eagle draped bust is basically an unobtainable coin. The field population is between 225 and 325 coins. Talk about low -- I&#039;m sure it&#039;s a rare event just to see one for sale!</p><p><br /></p><p>green18, yes my little iphone does a pretty good job.&nbsp; however i have to take about 20 shots to get one good one.&nbsp; my biggest problem is shaking since I am holding the coin in one hand and the iphone in the the other hand -- and trying to push the shoot button with my thumb.&nbsp; it&#039;s hard not to drop everything!&nbsp; My best shots are right next to a big south facing sliding glass door in cloudy weather ... or very early before the sun gets too high (and glare becomes a problem). I bought a copy stand with two 100W GE reveal light bulbs, but the photos I have taken with that have been lackluster at best.&nbsp; I can&#039;t seem to beat sunlight for taking pictures.&nbsp; I took all the photos of these coins EXCEPT: the 1862 Seated Lib, 1893 Barber, and the 1963 Franklin (those 3 coins are using the sellers photos). The other 5 coins in my set were shot with my 3 year old iphone.&nbsp; I usually try to take my own pictures of all my coins (just for the practice) but havent gotten around to those three -- however the photos of those are pretty accurate as they look like the coin in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
