One problem with this, and I think it's behind the reason so many other members left who did not participate in the "flag" issue, is that the...
He was making a point about the absurdity of the rules here. While a Nazi flag avatar may be acceptable on CoinTalk, I'm pretty sure no one...
Great example! You don't often see so much detail still present in Alexander's curls. It looks like the obverse style is a bit different to what...
Thanks! Yup it should be cited at the very end of the bibliography under Zervos. I should probably split it out into two references, one for each...
Hi all! I recently picked up this new Alexander tetradrachm from Amphipolis and it sent me down a rabbit hole of research, cumulating in a fairly...
I've used a particular freight forwarder in the US (Vykingship) to ship maybe 6-8 coins from the US to the EU and I've never had a problem so I...
I'm sure some particular collecting areas are different but I collect fairly broadly across both Greek and Roman and often have no trouble finding...
What do you mean by "absolute" die matches? In general I don't think finding die matches is unusual at all. Do you mean where both the obverse and...
Nope, not at all. There are of course exceptions for specific types but, in general, no. I often find it odd if I can't find a die match but I...
It's worth mentioning that DHL and FedEx perform quite differently across the world so while DHL might be below average for one person, for...
They do seem to mention such a fee in their auction terms but they don't specify what the fee would be, instead putting the onus on the buyer to...
Good tips! I recently wrote up a guide on inexpensive coin photography that uses some similar ideas as well, though aimed at those who only have...
This seems like a good opportunity for me to share this "still image" from a recent 360 Photo I made for my Superb Owl. It's one of my favourite...
Yeah for the Laowa you'd have to focus stack by moving the camera towards the subject rather than changing the magnification/focus like in-camera...
Doug that is a fantastic image of a test cut, there's some stunning detail to that photo! @TIF I'm honoured that you like those pictures enough...
I collaborated with Classical Numismatics on this video, he's using the Ultra Zoom tool from my website that some of you might recognise (I've...
That's a good point as the effective aperture of the lens is likely much higher than f/10 and probably well into diffraction territory. It's...
Looking good! Once you've got the setup working for you reliably, you can start playing around with the lighting to achieve different results....
That's not always the case though. If you combine extension tubes with enlarger or line scanning lenses, for example, you can achieve fantastic...
I started with a phone camera and a desk lamp about 4 years ago and that's led me to this, after many, many, iterations. Most of this is just...
Separate names with a comma.
