Just build a stand that rotates at a medium/slow speed that turns the coin so you can see it at different angles. Take a 10-15 second video and then turn it over and do it again on the reverse.
The stand would mimic how a person would view the coin in hand.
I know I'd add some TruVideo's to my orders.

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

And music could be applied to the video also. For coins, the music should definitely be heavy metal.
For an extra fee, you can have a custom HRH guitar solo just for your coin.

I know we've done some video experiments several years ago, but those were deemed unsatisfactory. It may be worth taking a look at again, but we'd need to know if demand is really there to make it worth the effort to introduce a suitable product.
You can create the demand by modifying the Set Registry software to accept and display the video that you produce. If this were the case, id be doing all of my coins for sure.

Happy to see that this has at least been considered. I would imagine a $15-$20 gif would more than cover the expense. You would have to rig up a mechanism to either rotate the coin or the lighting. And a new piece of software to auto layer the images.
Or send it to someone who already offers that service.

I remember when lostincoins was passing around that toned Morgan for a photo exercise.
All who participated had great pics but your gif was a show stopper, imho.

Thanks for responding to this thread.
Like TDN said, if these video/gifs were tied into the Registry I think it would create a lot of demand.
Perhaps a gif wouldn't deliver the quality needed, but there are a lot of video/movie formats today that would.
