Nothing special, except to people for whom die state progression offers an interest. Like many VAMs....
Yes, this, and thank you for mentioning it. Old-style lacquer straight from the insect is still available but most usually referred to as...
Yes, that too. When you look close, though, the symptoms of a flat strike are pretty even about the coin - hair, cap, talons, wing tops all argue...
Personally, I endorse the return of lacquer as a coin preservative. :)
Research tends to indicate that you're sane. :) Do you agree that the B-1 seems undergraded?
Well, go ahead then, and we'll discuss it afterward.
Put me in the 55 camp, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's in a Mint State holder. I just can't reconcile the flatness of the talons with the...
The process works, but it's not going to work as you think it will. It won't reverse the thin film interference color progression in order, it'll...
If nothing else is proof of the quality to be found in this method of imaging, brg5658, your work is. Nobody is better at it than you.

Interesting. I have a feeling there was a bit of grease involved there. :) The rim is appropriately developed and untouched. That makes me doubt...
It has the entire Heritage archive just as a subset, and even includes Ebay sales. I think they've had it up less than a year now. When I first...
News flash, jwitten: The whole coin is amazing. :) That'd probably be a 62 today, maybe 63. Heck, I think it was undergraded for the era of the slab.
OK. Lighting. As much as I emphasize the fact that coin photography is a skill, not a talent, and as such can be taught/learned by anyone,...
Thank you for the kind words, and it was pleasing to see this on the CT front page. Tonight after work I'll write something up regarding basic...
I wouldn't be caught dead posting over there. I'm not needed, anyway - they all already know everything.
I'm geeking out on all levels with this one. :D
We're at the point with Lowballs where anyone considering them "important" is ignoring how many people are involved in creating them to order, so...
Separate names with a comma.
