first few pics aren't bad

Let's talk about the pictures first. Since I began my enforced layoff in May, 2013, I didn't shoot any coin pics. My DSLR is still firmly attached to my copy stand, so for the last couple of weeks, I began to reimage some of my coins. My 2 Southwest Expedition so-called dollars came out nice and I even got some credible images on my proof Bison Westward nickel. However, on the nickel I need to use some SlabRenew on the slabs as the scratches showed up really bad. However, my Jamestown Commemorative came out really nice, especially on the reverse. I'm using the image of the obverse too, but I may reshoot it in the very near future. My pic for this journal article will be the picture of the reverse.

Actually, I guess I should have named this article Thinking About Custom (and Type) sets. I believe now, after much thought, that I will be working on 2 circulated coins only and 1 regular set of type coins and Trade Dollars. I will also be doing a Franklin half dollar set (hopefully all FBL except for the 1953S). Also, my Lincoln Life cents and Westward Expansion nickels I'm just doing the proofs, so they are complete except for pictures and descriptions. However, it is my "Wild, Wild West" custom set that is causing me to think the most. Hopefully in about a month I'll be making more slots and writing in some descriptions.
