    Hi all,

    after a couple of busy months I eventually found a free evening. I called my go-to-guy for coin pictures and asked him to re-image my entire Bust Half collection.

    I already had decent pictures for most of the coins in the set, but now I've got new and amazing pictures of all of them :-D

    Some examples below. Note the coins were slightly overexposed last time we took pictures - the colors of the new pictures are closer to what they actually look in hand.

    If you want to check out my NGC "Bustie" year set - please click here:

    Enjoy!

    -Mike

    So what's not to like? Stellar images and impeccable attention to detail. Very pleasing to the eye Mike......:)

    Thanks for the kind words. Some coins were recently acquired and I didn't have a chance to take good pictures. Let me post one or two of those coins...

    1829 PCGS AU53 O-119:

    ...I don't think I'll find a nicer AU53 anytime soon.

    All coins look almost exactly as in the pictures, including the colors. Some of you may say they're too dark, but I just can't fall in love with "white" silver coins.

    D'oh! I forgot to include my favorite (and probably nicest) coin.

    ...it's not in my NGC set, so I'll likely start a GTG thread.
