What do you guys think about a lighter background? Does this help? [IMG]
Ok, thanks guys! I will adjust the brightness and contrast until I get something better. Maybe the black background is too dark as well. The...
Contrast with the the seller's image, and you have two very different coins. I took the above pic with natural sunlight and tweaked the contrast...
Well guys, I bit the bullet today, cracked open the camera and photoshop manuals, and got to work trying to get some good pics. Here's my first...
A few thoughts... This is what Suarez says in the introduction to ERIC... So I think Doug makes an very good point when he says... I'm...
Lol. He's gotta be joking, right? Please tell me he's joking.
Nice finds. :thumb:
Looks like die wear to me. FS101 on the 77-D has the PUP TRUST, and looks like this... [IMG]
Yes, good point. It took me some time with a loupe and a bunch of slabs, and I'm still left scratching my head from time to time.
Numiswiki has this... So I'm not sure if I'm using the term correctly. Does the coin have to be a plated counterfeit to be called fouree? Or...
Is fouree even found on earlier issues? I've read that it was the last step in the debasement of the Denarius that began with Nero and eventually...
Hey, thanks for that reference guys! I did a bit of searching, and ERIC I is freely downloadable through a Creative Commons license. This should...
I'm down with frivolous. All coins and no Batman would make for a sorry state of the union. :)
I'll put in a good word for L&C. I know they're one of the big dealers, but they frequently put up a bucket-full of high-grade registry coins as...
I remember watching those Batman episodes when we were kids - we were glued to them. Alan West, right? Nobody thought men in tights were "a bit...
Thanks! That's one long, complicated read. It's going to take me some time to digest it all.
Blind trust in authority is simply idiotic, Tim. There's no nice way to put it. Giving somebody a badge doesn't suddenly turn them into an angel....
That's an interesting contrast. I've barely started researching ancient coinage, but I've been struck with how much modern designs are indebted to...
It's a gimmick in my estimation. Most raw ASE's are going to grade 68 or 69. Why would you pay an extra $100 for one grade point higher? The...
I think anyone who buys slabbed bullion overpays, but I know the ASEs cross over into coin collecting, so each to his own. I'd never bother to...
Separate names with a comma.
