Yes, that'd be okay. The reason I probably get better results with the cell phone is that I have a basic stand, with the soup can. I do have a...
I'm pretty decent at photographing people or objects, but I've never had any luck with photographing coins. I have a sony Alpha-77 (I'd have to...
This is my gift from the Numisforums' version of Secret Santa. I don't know much about this issue, it's only my second modern coin, but it's a...
I would guess that it's some Latin type of the post-1204 occupation.
How about a Morgan dollar? Maybe a peace dollar? I wouldn't go too overboard. Per ancients, knowing the history is about the only way to truly...
They're all great! My top favorite would be #1, as well. The obverse is really nice, the reverse (the money side) is even better.
Very cool! I also only have one, which is not photographed.
It sounds fun. I participated in the NumisForums Secret Saturnalia version, and I'll be getting a coin from work Secret Santa, so I'll be content...

Aaron Berk's latest 'podcast', #71 has a great infographic (29:36) of how to use the proper codes to avoid getting hassled. My first package from...

Well, after procrastinating I looked at my email, and saw something very unexpected, an email from FedEx saying that my package has been released...
I'll have to check my email. Ugh, what a hassle. I suspect that 3299 is not the right form. Very little of it had to do with actual goods.
This pertains to ancient coins: I haven't ordered anything from Europe since September, when the $800 de minimis was lifted, which caused chaos...
Johnmilton's post reminds me that Claudius is one of those Caesars whom it would be cheaper to buy something like a cistophorus. They're not too...
Mine is mixed, and contains an execrable Claudius aureus. I'd probably include the nice NGC VF Claudius as if I were to do pictures. I'm not...
It's an outstanding present! Wow!
Very nice!
I was bookmarking coins for Secret Saturnalia. Check out Aegean Numismatics, there's quite a few drachms listed, at very competitive prices.
Whatever happened to PtolemAE, from Forum? Didn't he have a website?
