[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 25369155, member: 134416"]Well, my U.S. collection ballooned this week from 0 to 2. Here's a pic of the 1885 Morgan which my Dad surprised me with: [ATTACH=full]1623576[/ATTACH] The photograph is actually much less putrid than my coin photos normally are. The focus came out a lot better. I'll have to work on the lighting and white balance. Even when I placed the camera in a static position (on a soup can) and the coin was placed on a memory stick, I still had trouble getting both sides to come out the same size. I'm kind of excited that I actually took a non-blurry coin picture. The coin is presumably graded MS 63+. There is no splotch on the cheek. That was a trick of the light. The dings are very miniscule. He initially picked out the Carson City, but that was $300. I think he picked out a pretty decent one. We'll have to see what my rainbow toner looks like in person.[/QUOTE]
