Reimage #2

Here is a second in an infrequent series documenting my renaissance to digicam.

The coin itself is an unremarkable low-end UNC 1873 farthing with a low 3 in date. What a difference! Is it really the same coin! Yep.

I was looking at those 1919-H Pennies you had slabbed the other day. The older photo made the coin look worn down to VF-EF yet it graded MS63 or 64 wasn't it?

I used to buy copper off a seller on Ebay a few years back for real bargains - he had bad scans which showed no lustre, and the brown would look greeny/grey (bit like mine now). You had to have real discipline to bid because they looked awful. But they were always good coins when you had them through the post. Bargains.

Then he bought a digi cam

At the moment some of Lockdales images are very poor (overlit), but they usually have the coins covered with the opening bids. There's another seller in the States with bad copper pics. I think it's affiliatedcoins if I remember correctly. Good seller.

It's hard work trying to show lustre correctly. Sometimes I have lines of 40 or 50 bronze coins with tiny traces of lustre to full BU. I have to sort them into degrees of lustre to photograph in groups, since my settings change all the time.

I love reimage threads espacially when they are much improved like this one.

Excellent!!!!! Some of the forum members are becoming quite accomplished in the photo department, good job, it shows the coin as it is with dimension and color
