    Yeah, maybe I should have just left them in my test post on the testing forum. I'm feeling a bit sheepish now. But I was terribly excited that I was able to take the pictures, put them on photobucket, and link them correctly on my first try. I'm going to try to get myself set up correctly tomorrow, and I promise no more pics until I get everything figured out.

    I remember my first impression this board was of the photography skill of the members. I'm hoping just taking pics of my coins will occupy me for the rest of the winter, and distract me from buying MORE.

    Actually..though a lil blurry, I thought you captured the color great in the first picture!

    Not bad at ALL for a first attempt (or for a final attempt for that matter)

    Nice coin

    I like that color, thanks for sharing.

    Very nice color. That's the hardest thing to capture after luster.

    Crappy picture. I can't do any better, though. In fact, I'm at about that level. The first step is admitting there is a problem image



    On the other hand, you DID manage to capture the essence of the coin, and an awesome coin it is...so I give you overall image

    Hi Scott, I was wondering if you'd notice my feeble attempts image

    I just can't get over the coin. I still look at it every day.

    Now go find me one with identical *obverse* toning! I really wanted that NGC64* Binion that was on Teletrade tonight, but I stopped watching at 600 bucks.

    Maybe I should post the first 25 reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaalllllly POS pictures, just to put a fresh perspective on my two crappy ones.

    I figured at least with a toned coin I could get partial credit for the attempt.

    Sweet coin! Great luster and color on that baby! As to the pictures,not bad for a beginning.image
    I'm sure you'll be putting out some great shots before long.image

    Focus, focus, focus. As a general rule with digital photography (perhaps all photography) ........ throw away all photos that are out of focus. If not, they'll aggravate you everytime you look at them.

    Great coin !!!
