[QUOTE="4to2centBC, post: 2266050, member: 76181"]I love photos of coins that transform them into what they really are, miniature works of art. I have seen some here that are pretty spectacular. I say the more the merrier. Those who have mastered the floating coin with reflection technique....kudos...I have not....yet. Photos used to sell a coin are completely different. I would want to see several to get a good idea and this is usually not the case. Silver is hard to photo and often the lighting has to be flattened. I get and accept that. I don't own these three coins anymore, but I much prefer looking at them this way, then their stale auction photos which,while they showed the details just as well as mine, lacked warmth IMO.
