I thought I had already posted to this, but could not find it. If twice, sorry. These were from my woodgrain IHC collection, long gone unfortunately. Removed as they finally showed up, I guess with as many pics in this post, I didn't wait long enough.

I have several nice pics on a thumb drive, but I didn’t take them so I will not post those. Here’s one I did take. I like the cropping app, but I need a real camera. My iPhone isn’t cutting it.

This is the best nickel photo I’ve ever seen: beautiful, congrats!
Thank you for the compliment on my images.
Very nice of you😊. I’ve been at it for a long time now and it goes great with collecting coins. It’s a hobby within a hobby that I get great joy out of doing.
Thanks again @Che_Grapes
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
I shot the macro photos with a Nikon D610 (circa 2013) and Tamron B01 AF 180mm f3.5 SP Di LD ASPH IF (Circa 2007?), the slab shot was with a 50 or 35mm Nikon prime lens, I can't remember which. I feel like if I got some more modern technology I'd be at the bleeding edge of quality but am happy with this setup for the time being!

You captured my exact feeling (I shoot with a Canon Rebel XTi (circa 2006) and a 100mm macro lens (Circa 2009), and while I feel my images are pretty good, I wonder what I could get with a newer camera. I'm pretty happy with my setup too for the time being, and your images are fantastic!
I got this one in the just the right light before it was sent in for grading. It PCGS graded AU-55.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

[Some of my Toned Silver Eagle Photos.]
I've a Dansco Silver Eagle album collection and only have one that toned in it (the obverse, IMO, is much better than the reverse)......I should really see if I could sell it on eBay and get a blast white example to match the rest of the album!

@crazyhounddog Amazing! Some truly amazing toner in there! That 1905 2 1/2 really looks fantastic, great luster. I am hoping that 1916 Matte proof Buffalo will show up here soon .
