Raw coin photoshoot with some slabbed coins and varieties as well
I was putting together a submission to PCGS and had these raw coins to take images of before they went off. Taking some of the advice of the members here, I tried to adjust a lot of my photos to take into account their suggestions. Enjoy! For all of you photo gurus out there : as I was editing these, I made two… -

Re: I tawt I saw a putty tat...
Am I the only one that finds it odd that a grader can spot a small bit of rub from three miles away but can't spot putty or makeup on a coin four inches from their face, raw? -
Would you take Eye Appeal or Quality for a coin?
Would you take eye appeal or quality for a coin? I have two of the same coin and cannot decide which one to keep. Unfotunately, I can't keep both . One has better eye appeal and is much shinier and clean with very bright luster but it also has more hit marks. The other has almost no hit marks and is a close upgrade but has… -

It usually removed grim and dirt, won't do anything for milk spots or any type of chemically attacked surfaces. Most of my coins are uncirculated so never tried it out but it would probably do an ok job if I ever get a grimy coin. It… -
Re: Toned ASEs
While I do love and appreciate nice toners, ASEs have always turned me off for three reasons. First, they're bullion coins and were never intended for circulation. I fail to see how or why anyone would consider a bullion coin to be a collectible. Second, they're 0.999 pure, which makes them very soft, but also much more… -
