Popular Post leeg Posted July 15 Popular Post Share Posted July 15 (edited) From the August 2023 Numismatist: Roger has been my mentor for maybe 10 years on my research of the early commemorative coin series. This award is past due in my opinion. Thank you Roger for all you've done to help me on my book project!!

Nutmeg Coin Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Congratulations! A true colossus in the field of numismatics, I wish that translated into big $$$ for him as well, as book writing isn't as profitable as it once was. Henri Charriere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emabigpiglet Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) Many thanks from a newbie, Roger! Researchers inspire me with such devotion to the history and science fields. I could improve at concentrating when studying something, so https://ca.edubirdie.com/pay-for-essay-writing is the spring that helps me do my studies and papers. I pay for essay writing that brings "A" grades, so my lessons with the university professors can go well. Edited August 28 by emabigpiglet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldFinger1969 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Roger, I'm curious....how did you "pioneer accurate high-quality coin photography" in the 1970's ? What did you do...and what was done before ? I'm not sure when interchangeable lenses came on the scenes (1960's ?) but I suspect that was a big change for photographers as you now had multiple lenses (close-up, wide-angle, telefoto, etc.) for different types of photographing instead of using 1 fixed focal length that came with the camera originally. From what I can tell, coin photographs in auction catalogs in the 1970's were light years bettere than those in the 1950's and before (and neither are anywhere near today's great glossy hi-def photos).

The Neophyte Numismatist Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Congrats Roger. I also appreciate the help and references in copper that you have provided. You certainly deserve this award for the many people (like me) who have improved numismatically by reading your books and articles.

cladking Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I don't know How I missed this!

What did you do...and what was done before ? This was based on treating a coin or other numismatic object as a miniature portrait, and then using color balanced lighting to mimic human portraiture rather than simply aiming a couple of flood lights at it. I did illustrations for Kam Ahwash's books, and combined "portrait" lighting with accurate color, wide tonal range, and repeatable processes. I also used specific magnification and encouraged the use of enlarged photos rather than actual-size images in print. I wrote a detailed book on coin photography long ago before slabs and digital cameras. It's mostly obsolete, and portrait lighting only works with un-slabbed items. I also did some consulting back then at the Philadelphia Mint to help the engravers get more consistent results from in-progress sculpting. I don't know who at ANA discovered these tidbits....I'd mostly forgotten about it. Kind of like when I cam across a big binder of code and realized that it was SW I'd written for a database application long ago....Just another "hat."
