Coin Photos!!

Having great photos of a coin collection is becoming more important and valuable each day. The trouble is to get great photos one either needs to invest in expensive equipment and spend a LOT of time to use it, or hire a professional photographer and pay them.
Here's another option if your short on cash but have spare coins you no longer need. I've been an active coin collector for over 50 years. Five years ago made the investment in equipment and time to take professional looking coin photos. I have many PCGS Digital Albums featuring my photography work; here are a couple of examples:

https://pcgs.com/SetRegistry/everyman-collections/half-dollars/everyman-barber-half-dollars-1892-1915/album/117645
Below is my flyer I use for marketing my services. The twist is that instead of paying with cash make me an offer of PCGS graded coins of similar value to my fees! Instead of selling those spare coins (perhaps at a loss), trade them for valuable coin photo services. All reasonable offers will be considered as I have a broad collecting interest.
I'm located in Tampa, Florida and can provide references from the boards. I'm primarially a Barber collector, and most active at The Barber Mega Thread.
Please PM me with any questions or offers.

A 1908 Half from my collection:
Awesome service! I'll keep this in mind!
Here's another coin from my set, a 1907 S Half (not for sale):
A medal I shot for a client recently- I love the look of the surfaces on this.
Very nice 07-S half Jeff. Hope the photo business takes off

Thanks for posting this again, on another thread someone is looking for info on photographing coins without spending a lot on a dedicated photo system.

Jeff, this one is my favorite... simply incredible!
A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.
Thanks for the kind words. Below it=s the TrueView image of the same coin:
I'm with @Sedulous. A sleeper date like the 95-S, looking like that one, is INCREDIBLE! Wonderful AU example!
