Sallent-- wonderful coin! What a thrill that must be for you :) As for new member pihiyomi, he/she sounds quite a bit like a recent troll who...
LOL! Don't let me stop your experimentation :D. Maybe you'll come up with something innovative. ... Nice work, Chris! Man, I really need to...
Are you sure about the date you bought it? The pictures you took were shot on June 6, 2014 and the Hirsch auction with the identical-looking coin...
Puppies are probably easier to train than cockroaches. Maybe you should rinse that soup can before using it in coin photography o_O:yuck: :D...
