<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2382880, member: 37839"]I agree that people want to see detail on coins, but the closer in, unless you have a fabulous macro lens ( I have a Nikon dedicated macro lens, and even that isn't 100% consistent for the job), the closer you get, it shows more surface preservation, but less reflectivity. DMPLS and very shiny PL coins are very difficult to photograph--I think that your CC coin is PL, and very nice surfaces. Notice that even though it is a CC, I think it has a great shot at PL at MS 65, and that isn't exactly chopped liver--it really is a very nice coin. It could max out at 64 or 64+, but in my opinion it is clean enough to get the CC bump to 65 in this case. So, the closer to the coin that you shoot, the worse it will look for reflectivity. That is the paradox of photographing DMPL and PL coins,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
