[QUOTE="TIF, post: 8124827, member: 56859"]Like some others in this thread, I like the coin macros as art as much as for any educational value about the coins themselves. In fact, I have a coin macro as my computer wallpaper. Recently [USER=92635]@Kaleun96[/USER] posted a [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/zooming-in.388880/#post-8011235']link to his ultrazoomed photos[/URL] and they are absolutely captivating, especially on this new Macbook Pro 16" (a big splurge but my old one was 9 years old). At the moment the wallpaper is a highly zoomed portion of a tet of a Ptolemy I with the deified head of Alexander in an elephant skin headdress. Very landscape-ish and abstract. The difficulty was choosing which portion to use-- pretty much any highly zoomed segment looks like beautiful art! [ATTACH=full]1414906[/ATTACH] [USER=1844]@Doug[/USER]-- that first photo in this thread will also make good wallpaper. I've already saved it :D.[/QUOTE]
