I'll never make it as a coin photographer...

I can only seem to capture what is ugly about this coin.. tried it in all sorts of different light and still yuck.
Fortunately, it's quite a bit better looking than it actually needs to be...😄

    The pictures are better than you give yourself credit for.

    Taking the photo is 1/3 of the equation….the rest is in the processing of the photo. If you don’t have a photo adjust program, get yourself an inexpensive version to work the photo.

    Seriously? Your photos look pretty good to me... but then, my images are so bad that people can't tell if my coins are actually real or not... ;)

    I like these love tokens that have the engraving over the top of the devices, makes it easier to attribute.

    That's what she is, of course. Nice find!!

    And I agree, your images aren't THAT bad. At least we know what we're looking at and about what color it is!
