<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2829775, member: 19463"]I hurts me to see such nice coins with a photo appropriate for a drivers licence. Years ago I hosted a coin club meeting at my house and shot images for any member who wanted to bring a coin for he purpose. I so wish this group worked like that club and I could get a chance to shoot some of the coins owned by our members that are not into photography. Fortunately some of our members with great coins are also great photographers so we get to see things as they should be. The time is coming where I hope everyone realizes the need for images. I guess I have been going at this all wrong. What we need is a canned photo product that will allow any cell phone user to take great images. </p><p><br /></p><p>Below is one of my favorite coins (ex Colosseum Coins long ago) that applies to this thread and no one here has shown their perfect one.
