<p>[QUOTE=&quot;S. Porter, post: 3191628, member: 86735&quot;]The September 6 thread &quot;Let&#039;s see your lions&quot; had beautiful, tiny coins and excellent photography.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It inspired me to buy some tiny coins (including a tiny Miletos lion coin from Valentinian), build a camera stand using a design by Doug Smith, reactivate an old DSLR, and start taking pictures of tiny coins, hoping someday to take images resembling those posted by Doug Smith and TIF. The camera stand has slots for mounting a large magnifying lens to look at coins in hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>So far, the pictures of the tiny coins are terrible, but the pictures of bigger coins are getting better.&nbsp; Thanks for the inspiration!</p><p><br /></p><p>Larger coin in third picture was ID&#039;d by the dealer as Sicily, Himera, AE Hemilitron. Head of nymph Himera wearing sphendone: six pellets within laurel wreath. Seaby 1110. 420-408 BCE.&nbsp; 17 mm.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]824081[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]824082[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]824083[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
