New pic thread

OK, I have gotten started with some pics.

1st of all is the 24-D NGC MS-65 BR. Lots of original crust on this one, and some PVC grit around the legend. Much red shines thru the skin, and don't forget, I have a new camera I am not used to. I will learn it along with you.

Funny thing is, I found this coin in the stamp section, 1 of only 3 coins in this guys whole display table, AND i had to borrow some cash from RLM to buy it, LOL, it was about an hour before we left. Nice find, and my last buy of the show.

Coin #2 is a 1909-S VDB, PCGS MS-64 RB. Bought this one from Mark Feld Thursday morning just before the show opened. It has a proud new owner already. Sharp clean surfaces and a nice mix of red and brown.

EDIT, lol, oops wrong slab pic

 

nice nice i think i neeed a new cam too

 

another SVDB, a NGC-64RB. Has a bit of carbon spotting

 

SVDB again, NGC 58, this one I will crack out and resubmit raw to PCGS.

 

Washington token, 1783 Unity States

 

ooh ooh pick me

 

very nice

 

Wow!, had to step out and get a breath of fresh air. Beautiful coins. Where was the Washington token minted?

 

funny, looked and tried to grade it before i saw the assigned grade, and i guessed 61-62 definitly resubmit! nice coin, and I imagine a better price!

 

I like the Washington token, the rest need a good clean get the metal polish out Jack LOL
Very nice purchases :bow:

 

The Washington token was minted in England !!!!!

 

Very nice AJ. Love the pictures.

 

Very nice coins. That 24 D is sharp looking, even with the scratched holder. I see you had fun at the show.

AJ - I REALLY like the Feld coin. Wonderful. And, the Washington Unity is special too.

 

I like those PCGS pics and I see you have the same problem as I with NGC. Yours are better than mine, but that white (almost white) background just seems to kill the color. Try setting the white balance on an idle part of the slab. I think that will improve their color. Here is your 64 RB NGC S VDB reverse and all I did was to set the background white.

 

WOW Drastic improvement.

 

That is what I thought. Try it on your camera and see if you don't get something similar.

 

Very very nice A.J.

 

I will get out my camera manual today and try working with it. Also on the list is 2 clip desk lamps that I can aim properly. And my new Numismatic coin photography book should help as well.

With this caliber of coins, poor pics will kill value when you sell on the net.
