Some more attempts with my new camera....

Udo · January 25, 2006 4:24AM

... and actually I used another lighting setup too for the following silver coins.

The first one, 2 Lire 1915

I'm not very satisfied with the result, in my opinion not comparable with cosmics image, but then Bill's coin certainly is much more beautiful than mine.

Please let me know your opinions.

I would give my first born son to get images like that.

Udo · January 25, 2006 4:29AM

The next one is a Prussian 2 Mark 1888,

slightly toned

<< I would give my first born son to get images like that. >>

Oh no, Don

Don't do that!

Will take pictures for you for free, just send me your goodies.

Thanks, by the way

Udo · January 25, 2006 4:33AM

And third, a picture which Preussen liked very much, a toned Prussian 2 Mark 1913

It looks in hand as in the picture.

Note to self: Udo takes superb photos for free, I have just the right bulk for him.

edited to add, that's a stunning Keiser!

Udo · January 25, 2006 4:53AM

Thanks Dimitri

Hmmm, maybe I should think it over and at least keep one of the photographed coins for expense then.

Udo!! Großartig! Θαυμάσιος!

Did I say that right richtig? That 1913 is gorgeous.

Udo · January 25, 2006 5:09AM

Thank you Mac, and you did say that richtig!

Edited for dang grammar.

spinaker2000 · January 25, 2006 5:09AM

Those are great pics!!

Don't change anything.

Udo, I think this thread should receive an IPOTD (Image Post of the Day). Is anyone the keeper of such an award?

If not, here's your IPOTD.

SYRACUSIAN · January 25, 2006 5:15AM

ÈáõìÜóéïò!

I can't type in Greek on these boards, something with encoding!

But Mac's Swiss coins are thavmasia (wonderful) too.

Udo · January 25, 2006 5:16AM

Thank you very much Terry.

SYRACUSIAN · January 25, 2006 5:17AM

<< ÈáõìÜóéïò!

Not even by quoting.

Sorry Udo, this has always been a mystery to me, Mac types a Greek word, AND with the old complicated toning system too, and I can't.

Why, thank you Mac! Is that a new award? I never knew such an award existed

Great photos and coins, that third one is stunning

Thank you very much theboz.

This comes out when I quote Mac's greek word, doesn't work for me, Dimitri

cosmicdebris · January 25, 2006 5:44AM

I See I have some compitition around.

Great job on the images.

Udo · January 25, 2006 5:48AM

Thank you Bill

Of course, if you want him, his University tuition cost is part of the deal.

Udo · January 25, 2006 6:03AM

I knew there was a catch in it!

But having a wife and two girls at home and they always want to visit the coiffeur, can be bad as well.

Udo · January 25, 2006 6:25AM

Here's the last one for today:

Prussia 3 Mark 1910 commemorating the 100th anniversary of foundation of the University in Berlin.

Those are all excellent pics, Udo !!!
You definitely have that new camera down

3Mark · January 25, 2006 8:13AM

Udo:

Great pic and coin and thanks for the giveaway

I need a good Berlin University in MS. BTW, Preussen sent me a pic of the 1912 Prussian 2 mark. You certainly take a good picture and great toning on the coin. 3Mark
