I'm continuing on with the attribution/photography backlog with some Hadrians. Thanks again to Doug and Jay for the photo tips. I have a ways to...
Really beautiful coins Jay and your photos are great. I know how challenging it is to get attractive pictures of coins. I also appreciate your...
Your picture looks great on my computer. It looks very natural.
