Almost as much as I love my ancient coins I love books and reading. I read history of about any kind. Every now and then I will read a historical...

Doug, no blue in the coin. I guess the green could go blue. I'll play with the software when I get a chance. I need to get in the habit of making...
Thanks Tiff, I'll try that next time. I probably won't get to try again until later tonight or tomorrow. The coin in hand looks way better than...
I agree but when I try to lighten it up by post processing it washes out. I'm still learning the software. If I increase the light when I take the...
I was afraid to take this one out of the flip to photograph it. If it goes on the floor I'll never see it again. Kebren Troas AR Fraction. Rams...
I like the older photo better. It has warmer color. Which one looks more like the coin in hand?
I was playing around a bit with bronze this morning and am seeing some improvements. Of course the bronze is dark to begin with.[ATTACH]

My latest try looks very much like the coin in hand. I'm finding that there is a pretty fine line between too dark and too much light that makes...
Playing again with lighting and see improvements. Here is one coin re-shot.[ATTACH]
I will try bumping up the light a bit next time. I agree they would look better a little lighter to a point. These are unaltered from the camera....
I think I'm finally getting the hang of the camera at least with silver coins. The bronze coins still need some work but are getting better. All...
Here's a Vespasian with T-Bolt.[ATTACH]
I picked up a copy of ERIC but for some reason have a mental block on using it. It seems difficult to me to find anything. Maybe it's just lack of...
Another great coin Dave. You do seem to have a knack to spot the rare ones. Of course the knowledge to spot them goes a long way too. I have none...
I would never guess one of those coins to be Vespasian by the portrait. I'll go will #4.
