Who are the best photographers here that specialize

In capturing life like toning on coins that accept customer coins for imaging services?

I can HIGHLY recommend Todd @blu62vette . He has imaged over 200 coins for me. I can also recommend @messydesk .

Thank you but I do not photograph other people's coins.

Busy enough with my own coins.

Have a stack to do right now.

Have heard Robec is great to work with and the photos are excellent. I'm sure there's others who do great work out there though too

Imo the very best is Mark Goodman, he literally wrote the book. coinimaging.com/ Here are a couple of samples of his work done for me, sorry no extreme wild toners as that is not my thing.

Also amazing is Jeremy aka @airplanenut, however I do not know if he is actively taking on photo work for collectors. Here is a sample he did for me ten or so years ago.

Tom Bush ( @TomB ) did lots of my dimes and quarters. Excellent images and service! Here's a toned and PL example.

Tom Bush, Mark Goodman, Todd Pollock.

I do a lot of toners!

I am also fully insured.

For toning, I really like @robec when you want color and luster together. Others are good as well.

To be clear, I’m sure Todd meant that he shoots images of a lot of toners. He doesn’t actually “do” or create them, as he isn’t a coin doctor.😈

I own some of Todd's coins. Lol

I'm looking for this type of look. I happened to get lucky with everything working out well. Since then my latest eyeglasses prescription is off (Thanks VA) so my focus is off and my images look like crap. I also don't have proper editing software or lights.

Sure, you can get a single glamor image or you can get a true representation of both the color and luster and the ability to pause and snapshot every single light angle:

I'm sitting here looking at seven holders that I need to photograph and register. 2 more in encapsulation, 1 in grading. I use my tablet, stack of paperback books, white napkin for bg. I may start paying extra for gold shield next submission.

Off the top of my head Messydesk, blu62vette, BryceM, RPM's and his macro images not sure if I got it right, Robec, Tom Bush and many others. Not sure if all of them offer imaging services but they're darn good at what they do.
