Will any of the forum’s excellent photographers will be set up to do coin photography during the FUN show? I have a few coins I want to get imaged, but don’t want to reholder or deal with PCGS, and can’t ship them elsewhere as I usually do.
One is a toned, original half dime that I recently slotted as my type set example. The top one below is the seller’s image, the bottom one is my iPhone. Neither captures the in-hand color as well as I’d like, and I want higher res imagery.
Anyway, figured the question was worth asking as I know others may be looking to accomplish the same with existing coins or new purchases during the show. Might be a good way to meet some new folks as well. 
Nothing is as expensive as free money.

Yes, I'll be doing photos at the show Thursday through most of Saturday. Table 806. Send me a PM for more details or if you want to set up a time.

I’ve used John “messydesk” for many of my photos, and he does excellent work. I’ll be bringing a few gold coins to him next Thursday.

Awesome, great to know @messydesk —will do.
And if any other forum members are planning to do photography at the show, please feel free to add to this thread.

I highly recommend John messydesk as well.
Excellent work.
Sir Messy is one of the top 2 numismatic photographers IMO (along with Phil Arnold). A whole bunch of others are close, but the top 2 have demonstrated excellence on a very wide variety of coins and thus have tremendous experience on the nuances of each example. That is not easy, so getting images from Sir Messy at FUN? Priceless……………….
