Thanks John, I have mixed results when I use 2 lights from the side. I find that the light from 2 directions can obscure the legend and other...
Ken Dorney suggested I post this as a new thread. It was a question in response to his comment in a different thread that it is risky to run low...
Hi John, Thank you for sharing. Other than CRI, did you use a different lighting set up in your second photo. The two photos are different in...
Why do you think this is? Has anything changed in the last decade or so? Is there a greater supply of ancient coins in the market or has demand...
This is a most interesting thread. If the Roman Empire did not fall, then I might have been able to put my high school years of studying Latin...

The system shows my bids as active when I log in but still does not show confirmation of my credit limit being approved. I have also not heard...
Thanks, I have emailed them and not heard back yet.
That would make sense. However I have successfully placed bid in the live-bidder website. It shouldn't let me place bids on a live platform if...
Hi, I am trying to bid on a few lots on an upcoming European electronic auction ( H.D. Raunch). I registered on their website. On receiving the...
Hi Svarog. Nice coin. I love Alexander tets! The most comprehensive reference of Alexander III coinage is "The Coinage in the Name of Alexander...
They just clarified in an email to me that people saw the end time relative to the time in their web browser, not the official end time in...
They just responded to me that my bids have been withdrawn as I requested. I am pleased by that outcome and shows integrity on their part.
