Liberty seated (on a pot) dollar

 

Love the potty dollar.
Hey, @potty dollar 1878

 

Funny! Hey! Where does the toilet paper go?

 

@SensibleSal66
It's the Sears Catalog on the left side of the pot

 

The political section of the newspaper. Nothing has changed in 150 years. Still crap. Though the president then is on the $50 now. Personal opinion was a far better soldier than president even though we supported the other side in my family

 

Time to unstick the thread. Another abused Seated Dollar, just not as artistically.

 

oops, missed one. Sorry... might as well leave it now.

Hey, I have indian cents....
Keep this thing alive


To be fair, I did end up selling this beauty. Unfortunately.

 

Understood. When I sold some Indian cents, I had to keep this one, or I would regret it forever.

 

NICE!
How do you do your lighting when you make those 'gifs'?

 

The post in Post your coin photography set-up shows my camera setup.

There’s a thread on how the process developed: Animation and Coin Photography. The thread starts with some early attempts, and the process improves with suggestions from other members and improvements with the process.

In short, I put my camera stand on a turntable and light the coin with two or three lights from above. I focus on the coin, tweak the position of the lights, and adjust the exposure to suit. Then I take a picture, rotate the camera+coin platform a bit, take another picture, and repeat for 9 photos. The relationship between the camera and coin never changes - just the rotational position under the lights.

 

Thank you!
