HarryWells Valued Member United States 103 Posts	Posted 12/31/2013 08:30 am I was ready to post my 1948 Mexico 5 Pesos and ... I will have to settle for a closer shot of the 1948 Scottish Schilling that is in NumisRob's set. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 12/31/2013 12:41 pm Sorry for the minor rule violation and obviously my photography skills/equipment are not up to the excellent standard here. Interesting that the other commonwealth country's coins seen above had no problems leaving reference to "Emperor of India" on their 48s. New Zealand is the other country besides Canada, that I know of, that also removed the emperor reference for 1948. GR58 - love that 5 peso. Report this Post to the Staff
mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1893 Posts	Posted 12/31/2013 2:05 pm First, a note to 'Steve': Nice photography! Please kindly treat us to more of your skill by showing both sides of the coins you post, for those that may not be familiar or are wondering what you're hiding! Now here's another similar example of French colonialism: FRANCE, colony of SAINT PIERRE and MIQUELON 1948 1 & 2 francs; aluminum; mintage= 600K (1f) and 300K (2f): These two coins represent the entire numismatic Universe (not counting a few essays) of these two small islands that lie just off the coast of Newfoundland. So if you ever want bragging rights for having 'completed a country', this is a great place to start! Report this Post to the Staff

Love too, but I don't have a pic of the other side on file. I only take a pic of one side (usually the side with the date) just for my own record. Steve Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9504 Posts	Posted 12/31/2013 8:19 pm Mysilveryears, just for you, I have gone back to my collection and removed the coin from the 2x2, just to take a pic of the other side. At least that's what I'm telling you. You will never know of this is really the other side of the same coin or if I am hiding something. Steve Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 12/31/2013 9:45 pm Keep posting those nice coins .. I wish I could take pictures as good, even if I only have one side .. I have been posting foreign coins (foreign to me), but if some don't start posting some nice U.S. coin (muddler) then I will have to start. Of course I know muddler .. or hope .. will be getting ready to post some of his great looking Walking Lib's. So I don't have to post my low rate ones. Report this Post to the Staff

sg93 Valued Member 294 Posts	Posted 12/31/2013 9:59 pm not to worry, sg93's here to save the day with a humble 1945 Mercury dime! but its still 48 hours too early so the hero will have to wait! Report this Post to the Staff

I wish I could take pictures as good, even if I only have one side GR58 there is nothing special about my photos. There are plenty of nicer ones posted in this forum. These pics are taken with a $80 camera, set on full auto and macro, sitting on top of a plastic milk carton with the bottom cut out. That acts as a tripod and a diffuser of the light, which I shine through the side. I use a black cloth as a background and raise the coin off the surface about two inches, on top of a screw. Anyone can do that. Give it a go. Steve Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 01/01/2014 12:22 am You've defeated me by 15 minutes... So here is a manly man sowing seeds on an Austrian coin. It's funny, because seed-sowers on coins are usually shapely women - but not this muscly guy! He's even got a pompadour. Flex it! Report this Post to the Staff
