<p>[QUOTE="petro89, post: 861517, member: 17048"]Hey guys. I'm still working on the whole picture thing! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> My camera is old, and the macro isn't great. Plus I don't have a tripod or stand, and on top of it all its late and I'm using artificial light. Lol. I think I have it figured out...the next step is a better camera. Yay!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>So as a result these pics don't do this coin justice at all. The bottom half is blurry but I was trying to get all the aspects and with my current limitations I couldn't do so. But the bottom looks great in hand... More luster than I've ever seen on a walker in person, nice strong strike...all the details are there even though they don't show on the pics. Libertys head, breast and legs/dress are perfect, and on the back the upper and lower details are nice too. The strike on the bird's breast could have been better. The fields are very clean. As far as the tone on the front there is a nice orange forming on the top with some rainbow touches on the right. The back is truly awesome in person. The same orange is very striking, and the wings have a subtle pink. I got it today and it is already one of my top 5 fav coins in my collection. Thanks for looking <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx79/petro89/DSCN0977.jpg?t=1271298704" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx79/petro89/DSCN0975.jpg?t=1271298859" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><a href="http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx79/petro89/DSCN0975.jpg?t=1271298859" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx79/petro89/DSCN0975.jpg?t=1271298859" rel="nofollow"></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
