Beautiful collection!
I think what Rich is saying is Salem knows some collectors don't like what he is doing but enough others do that it doesn't matter to Salem if we...
Thanks very much Doug for the thought provoking range of photo setups and the resulting images. It is very nice of you to take the time to set...
Thanks Doug and Joe! One thing that makes the horse tricky is that it is pretty reflective without being fully shiny silver. Too much exposure...
Wow, tough crowd. :-) This time I tried to get in between the fully lit (maybe overly lit) #2 and the no reflected light #1. This is my new...

Very interesting reading... If I found 53,000 Roman coins I would probably have a heart attack and die. :-) This also shows the power of having...

Great idea for a thread... :-)
BCD FTW! Blowing up Thessaly 24x7. :-)
Cool Philip II tetradrachm, with a ten pointed star! I think that is rather unusual. They are supposed to come in 16, 12, 8 or 6 pointed. I am...
Thanks TIF. I appreciate your help. John
