No I've never been all that interested in photographing my coins. I've been pretty much in pause mode on them as well since I got down to the...
Hi Denis, Hi Denis, do you have any tips or techniques for taking photos of Roman bronze coins? Galba68
I once photographed a coin so clearly that the images couldn’t be used. It sounds counterintuitive, but I ran into exactly that situation while...

Very cool gift! I have a few examples in my collection that were salvaged in small clumps of 2-3 coins. I have yet to get around to photographing...
not a fan of that at all. Just showed my coin dealer my set and he offered to trade ones he’s getting in soon with mine free of charge as a thank...
it might look like this 20 years later, my 2001 S silver proof that had haze: [ATTACH] and it's still creeping. To be fair though, I'm not good...
