[QUOTE="snewman, post: 2050112, member: 31036"]You guys inspired me to break out my stand and macro lenses and such.. only then did I remember that I forgot what the heck I was doing. My camera gave me fits (my grey-matter issue) and I just ended up with some simple snapshots with better stability, a little better lighting and backgrounds... Certainly not happy with them yet - both coins are a bit darker chocolate in color and the Constantine bust shows much better depth in hand. The left side on obverse/reverse still seems a bit weak. I'll see if I can play with the lighting or processing to get them more accurate. I had no idea the green gook was on Constantius' chin until this photo.. Still have a mighty hard time seeing it in hand. Thanks for the encouragement -- and if you suspect a fake, please advise. :) I only paid $60 combined for the two of them, so it wouldn't be the end of the world.
