<p>[QUOTE="4to2centBC, post: 2277411, member: 76181"]Thanks. I looked at many. I was in the process of buying a coin from another dealer on VCoins and it literally sold while I was looking at it.

Overall it was as nice as this one, but only $85...someone grabbed a nice coin cheaply.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to take credit for the photo, but that is the Roma photo. I extended the black border and added the reflection. I agree that the display format is a matter of taste. However I have never liked the flat appearance of most photos. I have been trying to figure out how to standardize my photos for awhile. I liked the way Roma photographed some of his coins for auction and have been waiting to do something similar with mine. Then I saw AJ's and I decided I had to do something about my photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like artsy coin photos in general (if that's what you can call it.) I think coins should be treated like any other work of art, well represented in a photo when you can't have it in hand. This was quick to do and it hit 90% of what I wanted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
