Hello guys, I was looking through some of my great granda's coin collection and this one interested me the most. Can you give me any info on it? Sorry for the poor photos, any camera tips too?

Nice looking coin there...I think. Try using the macro setting on your camera...it should be marked with a flower.

Very nice! I just got an Ace 250...HUGE upgrade from my old BH. I can maybe help with the camera tips lol :P I would recommend standing a little further back unless you have a setting for macro on your camera (icon for it is usually a little flower). Cameras have a really hard time focusing in on things that are less than 1-1.5 feet away without a macro setting. If you take the pic from a little farther away, it will be able to focus and then you can just crop the image in paint or whatever you use. It should be a lot clearer that way...

Thanks for all the replies. Sorry for the late response somehow I missed them. I'm definitely going to have to work with the camera a bit as you can probably tell from my photos. I'm actually headed out right now for an hour or so. I will update you if I find anything worth mentioning. Thanks again!
