First night home - slab shooting image

I simply love the way it brings out the color. However, it is also amazing at bringing-out the the hairlines.

Here are some of the results:

    Awesome pics Roman. I have a long way to go to get to that quality!

    Thank you for a compliment, Brent, but don't sell your images short - those shots of the Rouble not long ago were fantastic. And I still remember that PL Sede Vacante from your posts a few months back, which was gorgeous image

    image Impressive indeed! I don't think I will ever come close to that quality and this is your first night with the new gizmo (then again lots of experience with the camera makes a BIG difference too... I can't wait to see more!

    Yup... Otts are phenomenal at giving a realistic vision of the coin... whether it be good, bad, or ugly. image

    Nice pics!

    Thanks, Richard! Those slabs are pretty beat-up. That's why all 3 of those, plus some others, are going to PCGS for cross-over.

    Very nice, Roman. I know how difficult those first two coins are to image. image
    Good luck on the cross. I think the CAR 8R should get at least an AU55.

    Well, the package is on its way to PCGS for cross-over. Current grades are: 1824 CAR - NGC AU50, 1809 Mex 8R - NGC AU58, Baden Thaler - ANACS 45. I also included two other coins for cross-over: 1814 Guadalajara 8R in NGC AU50 amd a Type-I (Medal Alignment) 1842 Zacatecas 8 Reales in ANACS AU53 holder. I am hoping the last one gets crossed as an AU. It's a scarce, early strike before the reverse die, as well as the alignment were changed after the first few months. Anyone familiar with pre-1842 Zacatecas dies knows how much of a pain it is to find it in anything higher than XF, so - fingers crossed image
