    Bing. It's good that you have those online photo galleries as well.

    I had most of my coin's images backed up on Forum's gallery, but most were old images very poorly made and never updated when I re imaged once before.

    I do not intend to bore everyone with every re-shoot. But here is another image where I am pleasantly surprised by the coin. Especially the reverse and more especially the facial features on Securitas.

    You're not boring me, keep posting!

    This is a coin forum. We post coins.

    I love that Macrinus!

    You done a good job with that Macrinus Denarius.

    I don't mind reshoots. I've been posting a lot of them lately. I have way more to shoot but I probably won't post them all either.

    Bing, what does the original shoot look like?

    OK. I'll post coins I think worthy, but when this gets old and/or boring, let me know.

    Here they are, side by said. The new image is more the color in hand.

    I will also say that as I finish a new image, generally I am discarding the old. I did keep this one, but I am uncertain why.

    The old photo is still pretty good. Maybe that's why you are keeping it?
