Drusus, what great photography. I felt like I could reach in and take the medal--and I wish I could.--gunsmoke

I buy very few each year, but recently I saw some on the mints website with mint marks, so I bought a few of each. They have the "S" & "W" mint marks.

That's a beautiful image you have captured, Drusus. Can you impart some secrets with us who are less experienced. Do you use a regular digital camera or a SLR? Also which photo editing software do you use? Thanks in advance. :bow: Regards Ballabh Garg
