And is willing to help me out? I have a 2 Cent piece with some really nice die clash marks. I'd like to have some good digital photos of the coin taken, both standard full shots and close ups of the die clash marks.
If one of you is willing I would like send it to you, and pay for shipping to return it. I greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!

I'd like to drool over the coin but I don't think my Photo skills are good enough for what you want. I could however probably attribute it for you.

SuperDave, that is amazing! Yeah, I have a question. How the heck do you do that?

Fancy 5 variety but would need a lot more to tell you which one

You tell me. It's your coin. quote:

I have a Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens, and a good enough camera to exercise it. Here's an example of what it can do: Warning - very large imagehttp://www.compucoin.com/gallery/ma...2_itemId=148 |

Um, ok. That is just ludicrous. You really need to sell your services to some of the TPG's or big auction houses. |

Dave has some nice shots! I'm still learning, but with the right equipment... Here's a close-up of the test-cut on the edge of the coin (pictures below):   Edited by TwoKopeiki

This one was fun to shoot, also. It's a Portuguese piece I have on ebay, currently:   |

I love that coin, Roman, and I had it in my sights but it's into silly/specialist price territory now.

Thanks, Dave. I really like this coin, as well, and hope a knowledgeable collector gets it who can appreciate this for what it is. It's a nice example of the issue, even though struck on a common host.
