Little plastic crud is the specialty of dollar stores. Perhaps there will be something perfect for the coin stand/spacer. The memory stick...
That's very kind of you. You should see my sad attempts at photographing ancient coins. I can photograph people well, just not macro objects.
I might be making one of my rare trips to the dollar store, in order to rustle up some cheap supplies for work. I'll look for some cheap picture...
Are Morgans a full ounce? I wanted to get a co-worker a thank-you present, but she wasn't really a coin collector, and I didn't really want to...
Well, my U.S. collection ballooned this week from 0 to 2. Here's a pic of the 1885 Morgan which my Dad surprised me with: [ATTACH] The...
[ATTACH] Here's a quick pic of the Friday coin. Using the phone's raw mode and setting the phone on a soup can worked relatively well for a...
Thanks, it shows how much I know about U.S. coins. I can tell you about every Roman emperor, but I know next to nothing about U.S. coins. I'm in...
Opportunity cost is easy. I only have so much budget for coins. If I were to do modern, it would be something like Louis XIV medals.
I assume this one was from the DC mint?
We collectors of ancients usually have this criteria for our coins: 1) Do I like the coin? 2) can I afford it? 3) the grade, within reason,...
"Where can I sell it?"
I come from a background of ancient coins. I've been collecting them from 30 years, and all my knowledge revolves around ancients. I could tell...
Well, I decided that I'd just go with the expensive option, registered, to avoid Priority Mail. I factored in what I valued my own time to be/not...
Coins to Medals is in Florida, according to their contact page. I realized today that their vcoins email is probably just coinstomedals. I'm...
I hadn't factored in the weight of the slab/tomb (keep in mind that 100% of my purchases have been raw coins - the only slabs I have were presents...
It's a long story, but an 85% damage rate isn't a great record. One of them looked like it was run over by a King Tiger. There's zero benefits...
I'll wait and see if vcoins' dodgy contact system worked. If it didn't go through and I don't hear back, I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'll...
I plopped my desired coin (Morgan dollar) into the basket, went to checkout, and aughh, Priority mail. Long story short, Priority is guaranteed to...
Per the Coolpix 995, do you use a tripod? If so, what? I'd like something similar to Rasiel's. I have a taller tripod, but the camera just...
I have a Sony, which forces me to use Sony/Minolta lenses. It takes excellent pictures, but I don't want to dump money into an old camera. Next...
Separate names with a comma.
