    I'm continuing on with the attribution/photography backlog with some Hadrians. Thanks again to Doug and Jay for the photo tips. I have a ways to go before I get really good pictures but we're getting there. The AE's are still a big problem but I'll keep working on it. Both bronze coins have more detail than my pictures show but I will work on improving them.

    Nice coins. Hardrian's portraits always appear so noble.

    Some nice coins their Albert, especially your Pegasus. Is that patina a blue/green?

    It's a better looking coin in hand then the photo shows. It has some blue green to it but not as much as the picture shows. I am going to put some real effort into improving my photography and will re-shoot them.

    Yes they do. And they seem consistently good throughout his reign. He must have been well liked.

    Getting good lights helps a lot.

    High cri led panels are what I use now.
