[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1851994, member: 13307"]Okay...I'm back home, and I've tried to capture the surfaces of the coin a bit better, but it's definitely been a challenge. The coin looks much better than a BU 40% Kennedy Half, but isn't nearly as mirrored as a Proof Kennedy Half. Definitely somewhere in between. I'm not saying it's a 66 (it isn't, I think I agree with the 64 that's been offered here and at the NGC boards.) Here is the coin at an angle: [ATTACH=full]309579[/ATTACH] And here it is with me [I]gently[/I] holding it on the edges so you can see the reflection of my fingerprints in the fields. [ATTACH=full]309578[/ATTACH] Two obverse shots with lights at different angles: [ATTACH=full]309581[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]309582[/ATTACH] And one more reverse shot: [ATTACH=full]309580[/ATTACH] So, has your opinion changed? Got any tips for photographing PL coins (if my images aren't cutting it?) FWIW - it passes the 2" ruler test, which I attempted to capture in a photo but decided instead to do something that would take less than 3 hours. :)[/QUOTE]
