[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 3547963, member: 95174"]I came home to three new coins, I quickly photographed them and posted the one above and went to bed. Here is my second acquisition to share, also and Alexius coin I got it from Roma and in hand its far more beautiful. It is a SBCV-1918 They description that had about condition did not match the pic but I went for it anyway. The truth is this coin is far more beautiful than either Roma or my photography shows. The Grade they gave it " Near Extremely Fine; toned and lustrous." I loved my wife's reaction when she saw it. An impressive Wow, like she had just viewed a precious stone ( Her hobby.) [ATTACH=full]942879[/ATTACH] Sadly I doubt if my picture can get the same reaction, the coin btw is an easily found billion coin of Alexius, this one is very rich in silver and seemed to have seen little circulation. I will have to do some more reading on CT about coin photography to see how I can improve the shot. It has a glow to it in real life.[/QUOTE]
