new coin pics!

Doogy

I am pleased to report that fellow former member Bob (Robec) has offered to take some pics for me. I sent him a wide array of coins, and I'm thrilled with the results thus far!

Here are some examples of his handiwork:

thanks guys! Also, Bob just emailed me to inform me that there is nice doubling on the George IV shilling. I hadn't noticed it previously, and you can see it in the lettering!

cool.

thanks guys! I've been wanting to have some different coins done in a more professional manner, and Bob seems to do great work!

Here is one of my Double Florins that he sent me last night. It isn't my best example, but a decent coin overall with toning.

The first picture has the light source in a slightly different spot/angle, and makes the coin's fields "pop" with the toning. The second picture does the opposite, highlighting the devices.






.....and here I took my 1816 Shilling, and did a minor Photoshop thing. Spacemonkey has offered his really cool templates; this one is an example, but i haven't quite figured out the reflection trick, so i left it out (as well as sizing the coin properly to fit).
