It isn&#039;t going to happen!! I&#039;ve found there&#039;s more to life than spending numerous hours trying to &quot;properly&quot; photograph a lusterous coin in a slab, adjusting lighting, filters, angle. distance, lenses, which can&#039;t be done with a simple &quot;set-up&quot;.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>I finally realize that I should keep copies of the original images from which my coins were purchased, if acquired on the internet. Otherwise, a simple camera, such as one of my Sony Mavicas with a good Macro lens mounted on a X/Y/Z theta stand, photographing with multiple lights, a target positioned on a tilt screw adjustment base.</b></p><p><b>&nbsp;</b></p><p><b>Perfection really can&#039;t be a goal if one images a diversity of coins having &quot;filthy&quot; to exquisite detail, luster, various materials and sizes, raw/slabbed. I found it virtually impossible to convey all facets of a coin, and must decide which are most important to a general audience. </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Buyers will occasionally comment that a feature didn&#039;t appear proper in the posted images, as seen in hand. I&#039;ll just apologetically remind them of my inability to foresee all needs, but ability to return all funds spent for a return of my imperfect object. I&#039;ve had very few returns of a coin, but many of a customer.</b></p><p><b>&nbsp;</b></p><p><b></b><b>JMHO </b>:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
