[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3840272, member: 56859"]Nice (re)shootin', Curtis! The coin's surfaces and toning look very appealing in your photo. Curtis's post brings up a good point. Sometimes a seller has to err on the side of less flattering images, focusing instead on showing the devices as clearly as possible. Plus, just as we all may have different opinions about what is and isn't "fine style", we all have different preferences in coin photos. Background color, lighting direction, strength of contrast, depth of focus, etc... An auction company has hundreds of coins to photograph at one time rather than just a few. Glad I'm not the one having to take all of those pictures!! I haven't successfully reshot most of my AMCC1 coins. I tried and failed to take a better picture of the Themistokles but Sev's pictures were much better than mine and now my coins are thousands of miles away (I'll be reunited at the end of the year :)).
