One Newp 1853 and some reshoots...

Somedays taking pics seems so easy and other days I can't get it right to save the world. Sometimes black background works and sometimes white.

Here's a newp '53 Half compliments Connecticoin.. Thx.



Here's the quarter from the other day... this is how it looks in hand (well, pretty much anyway)



Here's some that I've attempted to photograph many many many many times and can't seem to get just right. These are better than normal attempts though... I was messing with the white balance thingy... I lost my manual many years ago and it's all a crapshoot at this point

It seem at times that just good old fashioned older circ stuff gets the snub around here... come on, they can't all be MS65 monster toners

I guess if I wanted more replies I could post...

Hey.. There's a Tornado in Colorado !!! Post a coin with swirl marks on it !!!

or

Hey.. My cute cat in the avatar spit up a hairball !!! Post a coin with hairlines on it !!!

or

My windshield got broke by a rock today !!! Post a coin with cracks on it !!!

Pitiful... just pitiful

yeah it's kind of homely... be glad I didn't show the pics of some other ones I have

I've got this one '53-O that almost makes you want to go to church and confess your sins after looking at it...


Here's the full monty of the newp Half ... In hand it is a very attractive coin.

No snubbing here - just late to the party.

I'm late to the party too, I'd never snub circs. I think your photos are very well done. All details are crisp and the coloring is realistic. The Peace, being so bright, would be the hardest for me, too, but you captured it well.

I think there's so much character to circulated coinage. They don't have the benefit of brilliant luster to grab your attention, forcing you to take a good look at what else they have to offer. Those are all good original pieces and they've seen a lot of history in their journeys.

Nice collection and I'd enjoy seeing more from you!
