Yes, I am a coin nerd and spend way too much time on circular discs......I know my pics suck and I need a better set up and camera, but I fall in love when they look like this.......

Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    I always wondered what Teresa de Francisci might have looked like at age 80. Now I think I have some idea. image

    Your photography skills are at the 6th grade level, but your eye for nice coins is off the scale!

    Awesome *RAINBOW* Peace dollar!

    Thanks Dave, I hope to get to the 8th grade soon for picture taking...the eye is just what I like and it changes with my mood.......I will work on it and get some more pics up as I can.

    the pic is good other than some glare and ya, it seems to help with lighting and color with the closeup shot.
    the long shots usually show all the ambient background light and the pic looks dark pale and yellowish..

    If I show the glare it gives me great true to life color....if I do a flat on, it looks like a brown Ike....no offense to the Ike-likers.

    tsacch,

    Don't worry about the quality of the images. They're better than any of the shots SaintGuru has taken.

    It looks dirty....you should clean it image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    That would be very very wrong

    I have a 1921 that I often thought would go a grade higher if "curated" but I have never cleaned anthing but some modern proofs.

    I would love that coin too. In fact, consider this an unsolicited offer to purchase it. If interested, PM your price.

    (sorry for what some consider inappropriate for the coin board, but as they say, an offer to buy is the best compliment one can receive). image
