<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 1715753, member: 44140&quot;]All- </p><p>Thank you for all the kind words. Those alone make the effort worth while. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Doug / Chris- </p><p><br /></p><p>I like the use of video because it can simulate how the coin reacts to light thus giving you valuable visual information. I think it gives the public the sense of the coins real life presence. I really do see need for slide show presentations with detailed and magnified images of devices and characteristics. I certainly could not produce a steady magnified video of a small mint mark, a type of localized corrosion or manufacturing fault. I believe a video to accomplish this can&nbsp; be done but not on my budget or with my current &quot;equipment&quot;. I encourage any effort to put these slide show presentations into practice for virtual Coin Shows that are more analytical in nature. Also realize the the time invested in each piece will grow exponentially. </p><p><br /></p><p>My equipment list is as follows......</p><p><br /></p><p>1 x Apple iPhone 4 = 99 cents with renewed contract with AT&amp;T</p><p><br /></p><p>1x black felt cardboard ment for a lady&#039;s necklace = bought at Big Lots for $2.99</p><p><br /></p><p>2 x hand = Priceless.

I put my cardboard down with the coin on it find out where I have to hold my phone in order to keep the background &quot;black&quot; and then picked up the coin with my left hand. The truly difficult part comes once the camera is rolling and I am doing my best to recap the dimensions, and try to describe the coin with some historical information and personal opinions with out sounding like a buffoon. I try very hard to keep each video brief. I often wrestle with what information I want to include in the video and what information I can realistically ramble off the top of my head while holding my phone and coin with the camera rolling.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris whatever works best for you but I want to see your video.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
