<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 779550, member: 19456&quot;]I decided to try some more coin photography today. I should do better at this as I am a published photographer in an international magazine...but I have not been very good at coin pics. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Getting better, I think...comments welcome on the pictures or coins...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1932 Quarter</p><p><img src="http://images112.fotki.com/v189/photos/3/348354/6136805/014Copy-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://images51.fotki.com/v731/photos/3/348354/6136805/016Copy-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2008 Arizona Quarter Proof. This is the first US proof I ever owned. Photographing proofs is not easy, I tried three, one of them, the pictures look nothing like the coin...this one is OK, the actual coin is flawless, the holder is not...but that is what the holder is for!</p><p><img src="http://images51.fotki.com/v423/photos/3/348354/6136805/017Copy-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://images18.fotki.com/v673/photos/3/348354/6136805/018Copy-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1914 D quarter</p><p><img src="http://images47.fotki.com/v1588/photos/3/348354/6136805/019Copy-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://images18.fotki.com/v438/photos/3/348354/6136805/020Copy-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My first good picture of red copper...note the doubling, as mentioned in the big purchase of Canadian cents thread in world and ancient (not a thread I started).
