Stunning Merc

I had no idea it was in such good condition till I got home. This has to be pushing XF, too bad it's a common date.

Is there a die crack at the top of the B? I just noticed it in the picture.

A beautiful find indeed! Gets you real excited to see one in that condition! HH

STUNNING is a perfect word for that coin. AWESOME find.

One question -- forgive my ignorance, but HOW did you take such a clear close-up photo? I'd like to photograph ALL my nice finds that way, but don't have the photography knowledge to know how to do it...

What a terrific looking coin. Was also wondering about how to take great pictures like that.

Steve and kschae4 , look at the manual for your digital camera, assuming you have a digital, and read up on the macro option. Macro allows you to put the camera close to your subject and still focus. I also keep my picture settings to the highest possible resolution. If you don't have your manual you can probably find it on line.

Hope this helps,
Steve

Thanks Steve. I do engage the macro setting on the camera prior to shooting, but will need to review the manual for resolution,etc.

That is one good looking merc for coming out of the ground. You did dig it out of the ground didn't you? Just kidding. HH.

Steve --

I'm not sure my camera HAS a macro setting. I looked through the menu the other day (as I figured that's how you took those shots), and couldn't see anything that was an obvious "macro" mode. Guess I need to read the manual!

Thanks -- and, GREAT-looking merc! Nicest I've seen dug in a long time.
