That's so cool!

I'll go with 1889-CC Morgan. Just kidding, just kidding. Phenomenal pictures @in2Coins 👍
Do you mind sharing how you get such high res close-up shots? What's your setup?

@in2Coins Killer pics!
Any chance we can request that you give us an overall of the obverse?
We would all love a thread that you post to once a week or so!
Fascinating to see the metal flow lines so clearly. Agree with @2windy2fish that the forum needs more of this.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Very well done! Angled closeups would be cool to see on early flowing/draped/capped coinage!

Have you ever thought of taking dozens of high-resolution close ups and splicing then together to make an ultra-super-mega-high-resolution picture?

I currently do not have any normal macro lens. Traded them for some other objective lenses.
I might just try this. It will take close to 1.3k photos 😱.
Hey there @in2Coins, nice images as always! Can you draw any conclusions about toning from your close-up examinations? Are there deltas between rapidly produced "artificial" toning and that toning that has some, uh, tenure? I look at a coin from the last year or two with a rainbow of bright colors and think, aha, someone has encouraged this. But compared to a 100-year-old coin with gritty, grungy, crunchy color - is the texture different in your closeups?

I’m in no means an expert regarding toning. I’ve taken a few pics of the same coin on different angles and the lighting does enhance or changes the color of the coin. But, when you look at the coin on normal light, it hasn’t changed.
