DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/13/2012 02:03 am Here's another coin that arrived today. This coin doesn't disappoint--it looks nice, although capturing detail on a dark, glossy patina is a real challenge! It's hard to balance the reflections with details--I will need to find a new technique. KINGDOM OF THRACE. Rhoemetalkes, 11 BC-12 AD. Æ20 Diademed head of king / Bare head of Augustus. RPC.1714. 4.8gr Report this Post to the Staff

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 03/13/2012 09:19 am The coin looks better than I thought from your first post with sellers pics. Nice shooting to bring out the details. I have trouble shooting(waxed)glossy coins too. It's really irritating. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/13/2012 12:47 pm Thanks! I'm glad I succeeded at bringing out details. The real challenge is showing how the portraits pop from the fields. That will be another photographic technique to master. Report this Post to the Staff
