Congrats on the awesome coin!
To get better pictures use a flashlight and point it angle it almost horizontal with the coin until you have a good contrast of relief. with a IP5 you can get great pictures too. Turn off flash and turn on HDR, then take picture from about 12" away.
If you got a in focus HDR picture then you can zoom and crop it after you take the picture and it should look great!

Ah but since you're no doubt east of the Mississippi, then large cents no longer count as forum show & tell. Since, of course, large cents (and colonial coppers, and busts, etc...) are "brimming out of every sandbox over there".
Hence the new forum rule is that east coast finds must pre-date 1750 to qualify for show & tell here. This brings you guys to parity with the west coast hunters.
Hey, what's fair is fair after all !

Awesome find, congrats!! I use a magnifying glass and hold it against your phone's camera. I call it poor man's macro lense lol
I feel the same way when I look at all my 5 10 and 20 dollar gold coins and all my San Francisco mint and cc mint coins in my collection the ones that bring the most money most of the time ... I do believe you posted a absolutely beautiful 10 dollar gold coin that had the whole east coast droolingAh but since you're no doubt east of the Mississippi, then large cents no longer count as forum show & tell.
