Yesterdays Field Trip to the coin shop

Hi all,
I picked up a few coins yesterday. As always any and all comments are welcome. I'm still working on lighting for copper so any advice would be great:

3 cent silver

Opps

Lost some photos somewhere sorry, I'll add them later

 

I think the pics are good Mark. I like the three cent silver, you don't see many of them around. I had a PF-55 several years ago, but sold it. It had a beautiful gunmetal blue toning on it, but at some point had circulated briefly. I like your three "newbies".

Thanks Bruce!, I found the other pictures I saved them in a different folder DUH!

 

2008 Comm

I just love this Eagle

 

Nice pics, I like the 1931-S the best. Was that your most expensive?

 

More light, more WHITE light...looks like the light is colored. Also, calibrate your white balance.

 

Love the 2008 commem! The bald eagle design is one of the best of the modern commems IMHO

 

You nailed it the 31s was the most expensive, thanks for the comments!

 

I'm quickly finding out that lighting may be the hardest part of coin photos. I used 2 reveal 40 watt bulbs. What do you use Thad? I took photos of this 5 ORE today while the sun was out and I think it looks much better. (we had strong storms rolling through all day, The sun was out for about 3 minutes when I took it) Thanks for the input!

 

Excellent pickups merlin! I am diggin the 2008 commem...I have never seen that one!

 

Thanks! I agree, that is one smokin eagle thats why I bought it.

 

looks amazing!

 

Thanks Kyle!, it really wasn't all that expensive either, I only paid $30 for it. I think it was a really good price.

 

nice! i went to my local coin shop today. picked up 2 Morgans

 

That is just beautiful. I want one! LOL.. Seriously... Great coin!

 

Awesome 31 S. I just got one a few months ago, but a few levels below that one. Eventually I want a RD one like that.

 

Can you post pictures? We would love to see them!
