Recently picked up some 1973-S San Fransisco Cable Car Centennial one bronze and two silver.
I thought to make a neat little desktop wallpaper of just the obverses and they came out fairly well.
I guess I gravitate to these for the architecture and trains......2 big loves of mine well, besides the hubby of course ;)

    I like(!) the medals and I prefer the white background. The medals pop given the toning.

    It is actually a super nice example of an Improperly Annealed Planchet error.

    @ErrorsOnCoins wow really it looks just like a missing clad layer

    Wow! So many, many great pics everyone. It’s so different than years back when you might find 2 or 3
    people capable of producing excellent images……..I’m so proud of all you guys!…….I guess it’s my motherly instinct coming out :)

    Lots of excellent and cool pics.
    Great idea for a thread Stef.
    I still need to set up my coin photography stand as it’s still in disorder after the cross state move.
    I even have NEW coins to image!
    Been too busy hiking, taking photos of birds and landscapes, while still trying to make room for all my ‘stuff’ in a smaller house.
    This thread is a great kick in the butt to get it together, though that likely won’t happen until I’m done rebuilding some outdoor steps and staining and varnishing a bunch of new interior woodwork!
    Cool thread though!

    Exactly Stef - thats why 3 (?) years ago I asked PCGS prez if it was time to be a leader in coin photography and get behind a traveling exhibit showcasing how far its come (From a few coin pics only seen in coin mags - to phenomenal pics like PCGS Trueviews) And he shot it down. I see a bunch of sponsors who would get behind funding the exhibit that would travel around shows - or maybe even host a coin photography contest at Long Beach. I still think one of these days...

    These are some of the latest ones I did with my iPhone using manual focusing with Camera+2 app. I think they came out ok.






    For this small coin I used a macro lens attached to the iPhone. I’m sort of satisfied with it



    For capturing the color, I think this one came out pretty good. Especially considering it’s in an NGC slab. It was the first one I did with the manual focusing app.

    The Intaglio Mint products photograph very well. Here is their version of the 1921 Peace Dollar, in a 2 ounce round.
