OK, thank you very much. Found them on Numista. My wife's friend has them and was wondering if anyone knew about them. So I passed the info on to...
Hello everyone. I've been on Numista for a while now, looking for a match for these coins. I've looked at over 100 pages of coin photos.... I...
Overcast is a good thing as long as it isn't too dark outside. Makes for more uniform natural lighting. Sure, the sun is a brighter light, but it...
Well, I've experimented with my typical setup at home. It's sunny today but the sun isn't around the house on my "photography window" side yet....
I would also suggest a tripod, using a timer, macro mode, low ISO setting, spot metering, natural color, and raw image (TIFF). I've tried both...
Wow. Some strong feelings here, which I totally understand. I appreciate everyone's opinions and input. I realize it's ultimately up to me if I...
I'm a total noob to photographing coins, but with all the photographs I've taken so far, I've actually never used any artificial lights in my...
Thank you for sharing your method/results. The science nerd in me is smiling ear-to-ear.
My colleague at work mentioned that his Dad got two $2 bills with color printed Peanuts characters on them for his daughter. Having never heard...
I just looked at your photos. If you're looking for circulated dollar coins of Millard Fillmore and James Buchanan, you may be happy to know that...

Thanks everyone. Makes my wallet feel better knowing I didn't overpay. I think the Mercury Dime is my favorite of the bunch.
Found this in the case of my local estate cleanout store. I know it's not the nicest bill (wrinkled, discolored, paperclip shaped rust spot), but...
On a whim, I visited my local "estate cleanout" store to see if they had any new numismatics for sale. I went in expecting them to not have...
I'm new to numismatics as well. My go-to website for helping me identify coins is numista.com
THank you! Happy New Year to everyone here! I can't wait until Monday afternoon, when I visit my dealer for my first purchase in 2017.
OK, thanks everyone. I was being too hopeful I guess. I'll keep them just for my own collection (not the value). It is exciting to get...
I keep an Excel spreadsheet with my ASE "to buy" list and keep it updated on current pricing from APMEX, JM Bullion, Silver.com, and MCM. Then I...
I have some general questions I'd like to ask everyone. I know that anyone can go to their bank branch and have them order a pack of "brand new"...
