Messy Desk was recommended from a board member to take pictures of some of my coins. These were coins that I did not have pictures of or they were not very good. I was very happy with the results.

    Wow, those are some great coins and photos! I wonder how @messydesk is getting those fields to have no reflection at all through the holder. Every time I image proofs, I get some fringe brightness opposite the lights against the rims.

    @Coinobsessed . What an amazing collection. I have looked at your coins several times now and I still can't even single out 1 coin as my favorite. Do you have one? James

    I like the twenty cent piece the best out of this group of coins.

  • MFeldMFeld Posts: 15,453 ✭✭✭✭✭

    When I saw the thread title “New pictures of some of my coins” I wasn’t expecting anything in particular. But it sure wasn’t a wonderful group of coins like that!

    nice BUT....................

    The 1802/0 1/2 cent, and the 1850 1/2 cent are problematic and don't belong, as they are UN-CAC'd.

    maybe you can sell them to me.....

    Don't want you to downgrade such a Fantastic collection.
