[QUOTE="Yacorie, post: 1391288, member: 25257"]Can someone offer up some hints for taking pictures of these coins. I've tried everything I can think of and can't get the detail to ever really show up. I have a few I'd like to post but my photos make them look like brown circular objects. Thanks in advance Here is one that I thought was an 1805. Bought this at a little thrift shop for 15 bucks - it said 1805 and looked to have been underground but I figured I was ok with it for the price - 200 years old afterall. Just went to take the photos after taking it out of the 2x2 and see that it looks like an 1803 to me - no clue how to get to the variety in this condition.
