<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1782728, member: 19463"]The various coins in your plates are lighted from different directions. I consider that good if you are considering what is best for each coin and bad if you are flopping them down at random. For example, Roman plate 2 #3 is lighted from the bottom which is an angle that I almost never find acceptable. #11 is from the back of the head. Is there a reason? What I'm trying to accomplish here is to make you consider all the options before you shoot and select the one that fits the coin. Overall, I prefer coins with less harsh light like #7 but this is yuou book so you need to select what pleases you.</p><p> </p><p>I have been intending to make a book at Costco just for the experience of doing it. The problem is what book to make. I had thought about a hardcover version of something on my website like the Vocabulary section with larger photos and trimmed text. Easier might be a top 50 coins survey. I have not decided when or if I will take the time to do it. When finished, my library would have one very rare and rather expensive book that I'd never want to read so I really don't know why the idea appeals to me. Still, it does.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
