    Solid photos, @lordmarcovan ... and nice Tyche. I am usually drawn to the WHITE or BLACK backgrounds, dependent on how it contrasts the specific coin. I find many of the other backgrounds a distraction to my eyes.

    Here's a Tyre Tyche

    Thanks. The photos aren't really my work. They're just recycled seller images to which I added a variety of different backgrounds with remove.bg.

    This is part of my giveaway goodies. I've decided to start formatting that material just like I would the coins in my own collection (minus the longer writeups).
