When I photograph raw coins, I use a puff of canned air to blow them off. I give them another puff before I put them into their holders. I'm...
They don't use AU? What is the "ancient" grading scale? This might be a good topic for another thread if someone wants to educate me. I know NGC...
I will submit to you Exhibit A. The left picture is with the stock lens that came with my camera. The right picture is with my macro lens. Sure,...
While I don't have any 2-cent pieces, I do have a few English hammered shillings. One of the (many) sets I'm working on is a shilling type set by...

Got a link?
