    Since new years is boring for me today I have decided to take some updated shots of coins that really needed updates. I know they're still not doug quality but compared to the ones these replaced, its a dramatic difference.

    All taken with my phone with a new mickey moused lightbox setup. Silver isnt going over so well but bronze/billon is working out well.

    Also can anyone tell me what the mint is for the fallen horsemen if it can be attributed?

    Check your PM chris & thanks Randy, maybe get more confirmation from doug or someone, it was $10 almost 2 years ago but I like it despite some off centering.

    I would like to redo almost all the photos eventually, will take time of course.

    I've been trying to do that same. I'll do about 4 or 5 at a time, but yeah take a while.

    I believe it is ANdelta = Antioch partly from the letters and partly from the shield shape and what looks to be a stirrup rope but I'm far from sure.

    I have been reshooting some coins and also am doing better with bronzes. I guess it is a 2012 thing to do? Yours seem to suffer from more light at the top than the bottom so I'd suggest changing light angle and see if that can be improved.
