This is my setup. Canon EOS Rebel T3i, with a macro lens, on an adjustable copy stand, with up to 4 adjustable lights. I try to do minimal...
You *cannot* casually toss this out and not show us pictures!
What an odd design choice... Draped Bust obverse paired with a Gobrecht reverse?
Grading buffaloes from pictures is devilishly hard! I agree that it looks very nice, but I'm interpreting luster breaks on the high points. That...

I noticed the other day that APMEX had some pre-65 silver in original bank wrapped rolls, for a large premium. I thought about picking one up, but...
