[QUOTE="Nathan B., post: 7957152, member: 112852"][ATTACH=full]1379502[/ATTACH] (Detail of the Julia Domna denarius I've posted a few times in this thread.) There are many great suggestions on this thread for how to photograph coins at various budget and skill levels. I've decided to... do them all!

With time, patience, and planning, I will try to gradually work my way up the scale in terms of both a photography budget, and photography skills. In the meantime, I can have a little fun!
