I'm wondering if anyone has a billion or trillion mark 1923 coin they would like photographed for free? I'd like to capture images of one for an...
Shooting mirrored coins: The image below was shot with a single light, positioned at 12 o'clock, a foot away from the coin and about 10 inches...
This video and technique is a great starting point. It was one of the first I watched. I'm an enthusiastic supporter of dynamic axial lighting and...
I understood your comment "It is next to impossible to capture colorful fields from brilliant proof coins if they are slabbed" as a limitation of...

That isn't quite what I was looking for, but it's equally fascinating. What were the skull, hourglass and spectacles for?
I heard (from an unreliable source) that the earliest known reference/depiction of eyeglasses is actually found in a medieval Italian coin. The...
Some very nice coins.. here's one more. I put the reverse first because I like it better. [ATTACH] and the obverse. [ATTACH]
I'm glad you liked the shots. Thank you. I shoot many images with and without axial lighting, using a Nikon D810 and a Nikkor 105 Macro lens. I...
