My Christmas Gift to the forum!

[Bruceswar]

This is a time of year for giving so I am going to offer a Christmas gift to the whole forum. I will be offering my photo skills for free. You will send me some coins and I will photo them for free! The coins can be slabbed, raw, or in an album. Your coins will be taken care of well. Just ask Victor.(EZ_E) There are only a few small rules.

1. No Pocket change please.

2. Try to limit the coins you send to 10 or less.

3. You will cover the shipping cost both ways.

 

Here are some images I have taken.

 

Cicurlated Half

Ciculated Early Copper

Proof 2 Cent Piece

Proof 3 Cent Nickel

Proof Seated Quarter

Replica Proof Gold

Mexican Onza Coin

Uncirclulated Washington Quarter

 

 

If you would like to have some of your coins photod then PM for for my address so you can send them off. I will photo the coins on a first come first serve basis. I will send your coins back once done photoing them. Just specify how you want them sent and I will take care of it. Just remember send along the money for shipping cost.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Now thats truly a great example of the helpfulness of a fellow boardie

[EZ_E]

I sent Bruce $20K in coins and they came back with but a minimum of fingerprints and spittle dots.

 

 

Just kidding! He was an outstanding custodian of my coins and took wonderful photos as well.

 

Bruce is a stand up, honest guy for whom I have nothing but respect.

 

Notice the quality photos of the proof two cent, three cent and twenty five cent coins of mine? These were tough to capture and he did a superb job in doing it.

 

 

U D MAN, Bruce!

[Bruceswar]

Thanks for the kind words Victor!

That one is a stunner if you ask me. Hit with the right lighting at just the right angle it really looks like that. The image was not juiced at all.

 

Copperman if you want to take advantage of the situation PM me.

[Bruceswar]

I am suprised at soo few takers. Anybody is welcome to take my offer up.

I don't use a copy stand and my lighting is less than perfect. I still get images I am happy with.

I reckon that people are just naturally distrusting:

Maybe so. I guess we shall see.

Ah, I trust you Bruce (of course), and I think you take great photos . It’s a great offer and generous of you to offer your time. I’m just holding out for my new camera for Christmas. I’m hopeful to take some nice pictures myself. Anyway, just wanted to say that there isn’t any mistrust from me.

[pendragon1998]

I also thank and trust Bruce, but for me, it's more fun to try and take my photos myself! Merry Christmas, Bruce!!!

[zrlevin]

I dunno, Bruce, my coin my get lost in the 'fro!

 

I'm getting a second lamp for the Holidays and if I still cant get a decent shot of this one Morgan, I'll give you a hollar. You did a great job on Victor's coins.

Does it matter if we send raw or holdered coins to you?

 

 

 

Jerry

[Bruceswar]

Jerry it does not matter. I will photo either or.

[James_OldeTowne]

Bruce, can you image this one ? I would send it to you, but unfortunately it doesn't exist !

[cpm9ball]

Bruce, I would send you one of my '33 St. Gaudens, but unfortunately, they are already in the hands of a TPG (Totally Possessive Government).

A few more people have taken me up on my offer. More people are welcome to.

jgrinz hit my hot button:I really have a problem releasing the coin to the PO again too

 

If you've ever had problems with coins during shipping this can leave a very bad taste in your coin holder. I X my fingers everytime and a times things still get fouled up along the line.

 

Thanks for the offer Bruce, your post will be here for future use.

[Bruceswar]

I will try to keep my offer open for some time. I hope many people will take advantage of my offer. I got coins in route already to me. Can't wait to see what I get to photo. I have yet to have a mailing problem with coins.
