<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2466297, member: 76086&quot;]John is right about his comments trying to explain what Basil has just shown us as the answer for this example.&nbsp; Back in those days we dealers would shoot our pictures on either 35mm or Polaroid, a laborious process, and after the half tones were made the photo was usually included in the flip with the coin and given to the purchaser.&nbsp; I still see these every now and then from older collections but mostly the photos dont survive.&nbsp; It was indeed expensive.&nbsp; The Polaroid process was not the point and click method we all remember, but involved specific lighting, angles and exposure (with a Lepzik (spelling?) box camera).&nbsp; Due to the expense and getting exposures right, Doug is right, most of us would do &#039;gang&#039; photos, with as many coins in one picture as possible[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
