in U.S. Coin Forum
Earlier in this month I had the opportunity to have Todd (blu62vette) photograph a few of my coins. As always he does a great job with his work. Here's a proof Mercury Dime that I take pride in:

    Just the other day, a poster commented that "eye-appeal" was completely subjective. I think Wei's coin is a good example of a coin that most (though perhaps not all) would agree has loads of "eye-appeal".

    Wei: She's a beautiful Proof Mercury Dime, with a superb photograph.

    Quality photography allows us not only to share images of our coins, and have them readily available for viewing & reference while coins may be locked up in a safe deposit box, but also to fully appreciate our coins via enlarged images without the need for either corrected vision or magnification.

    This coin was found when it was part of a deal that turned up at a small local show about two years ago. It was not part of that collection, nor any other known collection that is known of.
