Photography essentials for eBay sellers. Part 2.
Apologies in advance!
For those that have not seen Part 1
Lesson 1 - Cropping...you don't have to take a second picture...just crop! Saves time and batteries!
Lesson 2 - White balance.
Careful adjustment of the white balance will assure consistent, reproducible and vibrant colors.
Lesson 3 - What is BU?
The penny you see above is less BU than the penny you see below.
Lesson 4 - How to photograph a 1909 S VDB penny.
The details on the reverse are very important. They all look the same on the front; no need for a picture of that. There's an 'S' on the front, don't worry. It runs your batteries down anyway.
Lesson 5 - How to photograph a BU 1909 S VDB penny.
This also works for other key date lincoln or indian pennies.
Lesson 6 - How to handle a proof coin.
By the edges. The mirror like surface is far too delicate to touch.
Lesson 7 - Rainbow toned coins
That's what it looks like in hand.

Looks like a Jimmuh coin....high interest rates, Iran hostages, gas lines, poop on him!!!!
The grime you see is molasses. Don't worry, it's completely harmless and inert; ugly as motor oil or something less mentionable. The cheap thin gold plate on that Carter Coin is as shiny as new!
No coins were harmed in the making of these images!
I need to think up five more. Time to surf on eBay!
Make sure to set your white balance so the coin looks like a more precious metal.
