If you are proficient at coin photography, please post some of your work product here....don't be shy; check your humility at the door.

Also, PM me if you're looking for a job, full time or contract as I am in touch with coin dealers who need good photographers.

Now, please, post images here of your best work, even if you are not looking for a job. I would just like to see a bunch of cool images.....PLEASE!

Hey Adrian can you get me and my 4mp point and shoot a job please?

lablover · January 17, 2011 12:33PM

How soon did you want me to start?

ThePennyLady · January 17, 2011 12:36PM

I can certainly attest that Todd does amazing work photographing coins - he has photographed all the coins on my website, and can pull out all the beautiful toning and colors on my copper. In addition to the coins in my sig line, here are a few more examples!

messydesk · January 17, 2011 12:49PM

The first 5 shots are contest winners.

There's also my commem set (see sig line)

AnkurJ · January 17, 2011 12:50PM

I wouldn't call myself proficient.

blu62vette · January 17, 2011 12:57PM

I shot this for Larry Shapiro's inventory but then I bought it before he could list it.

ANACONDA · January 17, 2011 1:11PM

Helluva bunch of images! Wow.....you should have seen where most coin photography was 15 years ago. It has come a long way.

lkeigwin · January 17, 2011 1:15PM

Not sure if these are my best. I just picked a few samples.

ModCrewman · January 17, 2011 1:16PM

No claims to be on par with all of those guys up above...but I'm proud of them; and almost guarantee you I've got the least money in my setup of any of these.

BeeMan · January 17, 2011 1:33PM

Geez, posting my pictures here caused my fotopic account to be suspended. Guess I need a new host for pics.

ANACONDA · January 17, 2011 1:43PM

Man, you guys just blow me away.

My photos are not the best on this forum but keep in mind, I use a point & shoot, not a DSLR

Capturing the iridescent lavender and lime green toning on this Jefferson is my finest numismatic photographic achievement IMO

Getting the colors on this 1941-D Jefferson Nickel took some time. The first photo is mine followed by the Heritage photo cropped.

This 1939-D is my Avatar.

My newest addition!

I purchased this SLQ from Anaconda a few years back. The first photo is mine, the second is Brandon's.

Some more eye candy for ya Adrian!

I have gotton an incredible amount of enjoyment out of this thread.......it's almost better than going to a coin show.....you can certainly see the true beauty that coins can display.....we should all remember that coins are art.

When I saw this SLQ below, it didn't take me one-tenth of a second to recognize it......and the last time I had seen it must have been before I moved to Costa Rica in October of 2007!

NewRose · January 17, 2011 2:38PM

Here's my endorsement for Todd!

As for myself, I'm nowhere close to matching the skills of some of the members here.
I just thought it would be fun to post some of my best shots.

Here are a few of my personal favorites that I photographed from my collection:

1799 AU Draped Bust Dollar

1846 Seated Liberty Dollar - PCGS AU-53

1890-CC $20 Liberty Double Eagle - NGC AU-58

1893-CC $20 Liberty Double Eagle - PCGS AU-58

coindudeonebay · January 17, 2011 2:48PM

I kinda like these two that I did recently.

Martha!,
Get my smelling salts, I might swoon.

Just absolutely fantastic. More than an old man can take at 1 o'clock in the morning.
Thanks to all for the sheer pleasure of just being able to look at such beauty.

Meltdown · January 17, 2011 3:43PM

Wow. There are some incredible images in here!

Justacommeman · January 17, 2011 3:45PM

Stellar

canadanz · January 17, 2011 4:03PM

This thread is awesome. And it makes me very, very jealous of all of your photography skills.

Justacommeman · January 17, 2011 4:05PM

From my collection my favorite single imaged coins with photographer credit

Anybody out there done a wee bit of right click and saving from this thread? I might have done a bit!

coindudeonebay · January 17, 2011 8:22PM

I kinda like this one too, just a different setup for the state quarters.

stev32k · January 17, 2011 9:12PM

Here's a few from my collection - you might remember at least one:

The best way I can think off to illustrate my limited photography skills is to compare one of my better shots to one by The Master himself

ModCrewman · January 17, 2011 11:25PM

I have to give Todd credit for these, I still own the first:

I've sold these two to board members:

Not looking for a job doing this, but since I couldn't photograph my way out of a wet paper bag when I joined this forum... here's a few 2010 shot examples.

mgoodm3 · January 18, 2011 12:49AM

Something different.

Justacommeman · January 18, 2011 12:51AM

Incredible shot Mark. MJ

blu62vette · January 18, 2011 12:53AM

Amazing detail Mark.....

Here is a o/c double struck:

JH,

The only major difference is that Mark used TWO light sources (at 10 and 2 o'clock) where you used a single light source. Multiple light sources gives you more control. Try it sometime.
