Couple of pictures taken by bluccphotos

I had a few pictures taken at the Santa Clara coin show by bluccphotos and was very much impressed by the results. I never knew they took so many pictures of the same coin and was interesting to watch the process. I will recommend his services to everyone. I only found time to edit one copper and select one silver as representatives.

    Neat that you got to see him in action.

    He's the one that just did my daughter's 1901 Victorian set for me.

    Handsome coins. I like the colors a little better of the unedited picture in the OP than they look after JZR's Photoshop tweak, though it looks nice either way.

    I've got some more Victoria newps on the way off to him as soon as they arrive here.

    PS- One of them strongly resembles your avatar coin, Vikram. The one I got from you, in fact. image

  • In this image, the wine bottle shaped die chip can be seen more clearly on the obverse. : )

    I have collected U.S coins for many years, and then Civil War Tokens, but am now actively building a collection of 18th Century Conder Tokens, the coins that made the Industrial Revolution a whopping success. : )

    I think Todd is the best!
    When in doubt, don't.

    That 1918 Rupee is gorgeous!

    No disrespect to the colorful rupee, but a ~180 year old copper coin with such colours doesn't show up often! image

    Be careful of pushing the photoshop adjustments too far. Some of the pictures above have that "juiced" look about them, as if the contrast and/or hue were pushed just a bit too far after the fact.

    I'm going to agree with you on this one..

    Thanks Dimitri. ANACS graded this coin only at MS62BN but I don't care and it is my favorite copper. This was graded @6 years back and is in the older holder which made photographing the coin easier. There were a couple of very nicely toned proof coppers in NGC plastic which Todd could not capture and photographing them raw might be the only choice.
