Message:: [QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 2370607, member: 57463"]At the ANA Convention in Dallas, I met BLUCC PHOTOS who participates here as Blu62Vette. At the show, I only bought three small coins, and I paid him to take their photographs. I was quite pleased. That was just a test, specifically because the coins were small. The ones I will send him are four or five ancient Greeks, drachmas and smaller, down to fourths, so we are talking like lentils for size. I am confident that he will do a good job. I mention this because I just did a search here and read some of the posts from people having a hard time with it. When I worked at Coin World, I had a great set-up, and instruction and practice. Here at home, all I have is a cell phone and a printer/scanner. They are fine for what they are. In the ANA Dallas Convention topic thread, I posted pictures of two aluminum coins that I took with my iPhone 5. They are fine for chat boards.  For something else, something better, more important, more valuable, you cannot go wrong hiring a professional. You can do it yourself. It is not hard. It just takes some equipment and some practice. But how many hobbies do you want to have at once?
