Even that should have a macro mode. Instead of holding the camera in your hand, try propping it up on a desk or table (use some books, or a...
I don't have one, but I look forward to seeing everyone's cases. I really want to put some museum-style lighted glass top cases in my loft area,...
I shut the blinds on my windows so that I can shoot in the dark. How many lights are you using, green? Those pictures look to be nicely in...
I don't know how many of you have seen this, but CoinWeek posted a really cool video showing the entire grading process during a walkthrough at...
Who is it? I know Rick Tomaska has one of these TV shows as well, with equally ridiculous pricing.
I'd grade the obverse "three glasses of wine" out of focus. The reverse is "six shots of whiskey" out of focus. You appear to have some really...
67Cam, but I think I may be getting thrown off by the slab. There appears to be a few tickmarks in the obverse field above Liberty, if I am...

Can you take pictures with more light? It is really hard to see what is going on with your coin. Blue toning, if it is natural, is highly...
Well, life's not fair. That's just reality. The fact of the matter is, their set is *not* in the top ten. They aren't being deprived of...
Let us clarify some things: the Cherrypickers focuses on *varieties.* The book linked above by Herbert focuses on *erorrs.* These are two very...
I personally don't understand why obscured sets exist, but if they want to do that, then it is their choice. Kind of defeats the whole point of...
The TPGs are *very* forgiving of hairlines on mid-19th century proofs. It was common practice for collectors of the time to give their coins a...
