<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinsandmedals, post: 4069462, member: 107435&quot;]I failed to mention this earlier, but I recently won an NGC award for &quot;Most Creative Custom Set&quot;. This was a complete surprise, and I am deeply honored. In addition to all of the other perks, NGC also graciously gave me a $500 grading credit to use toward my next submission. I had been saving up coins and money for my next submission; however, the grading credit NGC gave me covered the entire cost. This freed up a good chunk of cash that was otherwise unaccounted for in my budget. I had been playing with the idea of getting a fancy camera setup for some time, but could never justify the cost. I would always pick the coin over the camera. Well, I found a nice Canon Rebel T6 DSLR for a reasonable price and pulled the trigger. Now I had a decent camera but no lens and no copy stand. I contacted [USER=19165]@physics-fan3.14[/USER] for advice, and he provided some sound initial guidance, but he referred me to [USER=31773]@rmpsrpms[/USER] for more information. Ray turned out to be a HUGE help, and I eventually ended up purchasing a camera build from him. Ray has been a class act from the start. If anyone is looking for a super reasonably priced camera build, I can not recommend Ray enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am entirely new to editing, so this is still a learning process for me. I am posting these images here in hopes that I can get feedback from community members. I still have a lot to learn, but this has added an entirely new level of enjoyment for me. Please let me know what you think and what changes you would suggest!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have about 40 coins imaged and edited. I will try to post them over time in groups of 5 or less. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>1806 Great Britain Soho proof Halfpenny Peck-1371 </b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1063632[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1063633[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>1806 Great Britain Soho Penny </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1063628[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1063629[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b>1937 Great Britain proof Halfpenny</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1063630[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1063631[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>1913 Great Britain Penny </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1063634[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1063635[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>1813 Isle of Man proof Halfpenny</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1063636[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1063637[/ATTACH] </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
