Was sunny out so I decided to re-photograph again some of my coins, including my Anastasius I.

Before:

After:

Hope you guys aren't getting bored of my quest to get better pics of my coins

Your picture taking is getting better. I wish I could say the same for mine.

Thanks echizento. My main problem was lighting, so I am now using sunlight in my coin photographs.

No matter what I try, they still don't come out the way I want them to.

Anyone know why his face looks like that? Is it just wear?

Nice coin. I think it's just wear that makes the portrait look like that. Most of my Byzantine coins look like that too.

Ah ok. Thought it might have had something to do with the die. But wear seems more likely. Thanks jessvc1.
