My coin photography has improved with a bit of trial and error. I think my photography improves a bit with each attempt and I have spent some time photographing the majority of my core collection of widgets.

 

Many of these coins will make it to the pages of my Mercury Dime Variety book that I am hard at work on. :)

 

Pop 3/0.

Pop 50/1. (It's not a variety but I still like it. :) )

This is an old photo, I clearly need to retake the photos.

In 2 years the pops have exploded by 10!!! Due to resubmissions I suspect since the + grading came about.

I really doubt there are 50 examples in 67FB. The pops are terribly misleading!

Pop 2/2. I want a 67FB example when I can find one.

This coin goes in the non-FB Reg Set.

Not a Variety that is recognized by the TPG Reg Sets.....YET! ;)

I have never seen another or know of another so I will boldly call this Top Pop. ;)

Awesome collage of pics, including the layout on each and close up of the focal point of the variety. Great job! Had me longing to be a better photographer.

Thanks Todd. I think I am getting pretty close. I am really proud of a couple of the shots but need to work at it a bit more to gain the almighty consistency.
