[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 931467, member: 17557"]Well I looked at the first photo with such promise, and then the next three really let me down. You are shining way to much light on the coin. Are you using the flash? The obverse of the 83' looks out of focus as well. Just a few things that I do, set camera to Macro, adjust white balance by putting white piece of paper behind coin, and then set accordingly, use two-three lights to get maximum lighting on the coin without any kind of overexposure, like the flash would create. Repost better pictures of that 1883-O, if that coin doesn't have many visible marks, and they blend with the surface of the cheek, it could have a shot of 65, granted it would still be common, it would fetch a premium. Only problem with that premium is the money it costs to get it graded. Try finding a local PCGS authorized dealer and try to get on boat with his shipment if he'll let you.
