Very Nice !

That size is really good for personal records, but I suggest a 500x500 pixel size for the forum though.

 

I hate small pictures...=/ lol

Very nice!!!! I think the images look super. Nice clashed letters too.

 

cool stand, awsome coin! :kewl:

 

Thanks everyone!

what bolt size/pitch is that?

 

Very nice copy stand. You did good. Your coins are beautiful too.

 

Thanks a lot Art,

Invictus, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you talking about the bolt I bought to screw into the camera? I'm not quite sure what size it is. I just took the camera to ACE and started screwing bolts in until one worked....lol

I like the idea.

 

Very nice...and the second set of photos is a lot better. :thumb: I think you did a lot better on your copystand than I did on mine as it cost me $35...actually you did 269 times better (pricewise).

Just bought mine a week ago and I'm loving it:


Here are some examples:

 

Nice pictures and AWESOME 1884-O!!!

Here are some pictures I took this morning that didn't come out bad, but not as good as yesterday's...


An 1878 7TF VAM 84, line under 8/ washed out L.



An 1878 8TF VAM 8 Stick feather.



An 1878 8TF VAM ?? DBL Liberty...Pretty bad pictures on this one, sorry! Anyone have an idea of the VAM?



Another 1878 8TF with Liberty Doubled....I don't know about a VAM on this one either....what say you guys?



A GSA 1884 CC....VAM ?? I guess the VAM really doesn't matter on this date anyways...



More in next post...

 

An 1809 Half Cent with 90 degree rotated reverse...I don't like the pictures....



Here's my favorite error coin...Got it on Ebay for less than $20. What do you think it grades? I'd say MS65++ FS....




Another cool error from the Bay.



My nicest Bust half....



one more post coming!

 

A REALLY nice Indian....The spots are all toning and the coin looks MUCH better in person.

Thanks a lot =)

Ok guys. I've made my own light diffuser and here's what I've come up with.

Well, here's the setup I made. Completely free, mind you. It's made up of K'nex and an old cloth diaper.




Here's the pictures I took using it and the "copy stand" All of these coins are ones that I had imaged in the first batch of pictures....so you can go back and compare. Also, the "O" reverse came from the colorful 1883-O, but that obverse pic blew so I threw it out, so only a reverse picture on that one, where I had had the problem anyways in the first batch.









So, are the pictures better?

Thanks!

Very nice. :thumb: Here's a link to how I used to photograph my coins before I got the copy stand: http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&threadid=630118
