I have to agree with a few others -- you need a new camera. You would also get pictures to focus on the coin if you would use a copy stand or...
I couldn't agree more. Ruben, c'mon -- we have to see separate threads for each of the coins, then we have to see a dozen or so pics in the NEWP...
Why doesn't your co-worker do it himself? It's an odd scenario.
You can look up all Krause Catalog information for free on the NGC website. You can search by country, date, and denomination. See link here:...
I will occasionally buy PCI coins if I can see them in person. I would never buy one sight unseen unless they have a 100% return policy and...

In 2009, the Satin Finish coins comprised 36 coins, and a full Business Strike and Satin set is a whopping 72 coins. Add in the 18 proofs (clad)...
Picking one side of one coin is almost an impossible task...
I thought for a long time about what to submit. I decided on a Russian coin about the size of a US quarter dollar (specifically, this is a 1915...
