The Skyman Collection....

Bruceswar

Over this year I have been able to photo a few coins for Skyman. He has sent me some truly stunning coins to photo! Well I have more coins from him to photo! I am sure everybody is familiar with his avatar coin. Well that is one of the coins I was sent to photo. Here is a photo of the toned side. All I got to say about this coin is WOW! This has to be one of the nicest toners I have ever seen as far as color goes. NGC 1886 MS64* BC coin Enjoy... No juiced images the colors you see in the image are there!



When I get a chance I will post some better images. This was my first test image. I hope you enjoy the image as much as I do.

Amazing Coin and Nice Pic

I have had the pleasure of meeting Skyman and holding the pictured coin (and other coins of his) in my hands, looking at them with my own eyes. Quite a treat, he has some phenomenal coins. Based upon his BC Morgans, I have actually come to the conclusion that Morgans can be ok to collect (you just have to find the nice ones).

He also collects 1950-1970 Cameo Proof and SMS coins, so he clearly is an advanced, knowledgable, insightful, perceptive, tasteful, collector (since I collect these coins also).

Maybe he will favor us with some more pics of his coins.

Nice pic, Bruce! As we discussed last night I find it a bit dark for the coin, but you've got some nice luster highlights coming through.

Thanks folks for the nice comments about the coin! Here is the current image of my Avatar which I'm quite happy with.



I've gotten enough grief about the image being juiced, and I like Bruce's (and Bob Campbell's) imaging enough, that I figured it would be nice to get some other images of some of my coins so you can get another idea of what they look like. Truth be told, while some of the old images do look a little juiced, they are very close to reality. Here are the two other BC coins that Bruce has been sent:




For imaging, this one will be particularly tricky as it has semi-prooflike surfaces.

At the same time these coins were sent to Bruce I also sent Bob 4 BC's. Three that you've seen, and one I have yet to post. Here are the 3 that you've seen.







I think both Bruce and Bob do EXCELLENT work imaging coins and am honored that they would be willing to image some of my coins. It will be fun to see what the end results look like.
