That beautiful set you just can’t photo to see it’s beauty

This one is the hardest for me. Sorry it’s a 35th anniversary China panda set but you can see what I mean. Share yours

Looks like some pretty toning- I bet if you take it out of the plastic you can get better photos 😉

Anything in plastic is difficult for me to photograph, and especially large cents. Fortunately more than half my collection is raw.
Since you asked to share ours, here you go. The photos don’t do it justice at all:

I love that coin and the toning is majestic like the Black beauty nickels. I have a roll all with that toning.

You finally "nailed" the pics. Looks good to me.

Holographic stuff is not easy to photograph. There are so many ways to see the colors in those, and at the same time you have to light the coin so the non-holographic stuff looks good, too. Also, part of the experience of looking at one is having the colors change and dance around as you tilt the coin in the light, which you can't capture with a static picture.

my 1880s Proof coins are vary hard to photograph

Since I have more free time on my hands lately I am going to work on my photo skills. Tech can do wonderful things. Here is after example

Anti-CF markings on the Panda? Interesting.
