<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 3588421, member: 32619&quot;]I had a few tokens remaining to image which will you can see below. First up, a few shots of my area...please excuse the mess! I was working on some Warhammer miniatures and was waiting for one to dry. Also excuse the blurry photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]958449[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This holder is formed from a large CD-ROM case. It&#039;s the kind of thing you used to be able to get from Walmart ten years ago where there would be like 200 blank CDs. Around it is black cardstock formed into a tube shape. It is sitting on a chair and below my coin rig are Cunningham&#039;s volumes because they&#039;re black. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]958452[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>From a little further away you can see the chair, two clip on lights with white paper taped over them, the coin rig, and the tripod I mount my camera on. Also, you can see the Warhammer figure I was working. I use this set up for all my photography. It&#039;s cheap and made from things found around the house. If I were to change anything it would probably be the bulbs. Sometimes I think they put out too much blue. Sometimes I like to use indirect sunlight, it just depends. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the photos I took right after that shot:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]958455[/ATTACH] </p><p>GU90a, Andersen AB, brass, 26mm. I&#039;ve been trying to snatch a token from Andersen for years, but I have always lost on auctions. Also, I love irregularly shaped tokens.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]958456[/ATTACH] </p><p>KR2320a, Seoul, plated brass, 21mm</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]958457[/ATTACH] </p><p>KR2320b, Seoul, plated brass, 18mm</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]958458[/ATTACH] </p><p>KR2320c, Seoul, 24mm</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]958459[/ATTACH] </p><p>KR2900c, Taegu, aluminum, 34mm. This denomination is unlisted in Cunningham and also for these tokens he does not record the value twice. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]958460[/ATTACH] </p><p>MV130b, brass, 24mm. Cunningham lists this token with the Mavericks but notes that they&#039;ve been attributed to Subic Bay. While this token is not from the Air Force, I couldn&#039;t resist an honestly worn beer token! </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]958461[/ATTACH] </p><p>NM210e, Holloman AFB, nickel, 35mm. I love the nickel tokens also. They have a nice heft and not many in my collection are made of this material. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope you enjoyed the tokens and can see with just a little effort pleasing coin photos are possible. Also, I use Paint to combine, crop, and resize my photos. See forum member Doug Smith&#039;s website for some very nice tutorials and articles. They&#039;re about ancient coins but the methods can be applied for moderns.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/photo.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/photo.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/photo.html</a></p><p><a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/coinphoto2011ez.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/coinphoto2011ez.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/coinphoto2011ez.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
