Hello, folks!

I've recently started taking more artistic group shots of toned Silver U.S. coins, and I'm rather enjoying the practice at photography!

I take all of these pictures with my cellphone, believe it or not. It has a 16MP digital camera. There are a couple of photo editing applications which allow one to heighten the contrast and saturation of the image, making for a SUPER beautiful effect like the pic below!

A-New-Artistic-Form-Of-Coin-Photography?


I posted this very picture to a coin collecting facebook group and got rave reviews, so I'm curious to know if you guys like it too! Do any of you have a desire to use this picture for projects of your own? I'd be happy to give you an un-watermarked version for free because the coincommunity here has given me much value before. It seems appropriate today to share the wealth

Let me know your thoughts! I look forward to hearing from you!

That is a very nice pic, but does look like the cover of a book, I don't know if that's good or bad.

Very nice and colorful pic. It's much more artistic than any of my mine, which are just the typical single-coin photos.

Nice looking pic. I do this more with Canadian coins to use with some clients (advertising stuff), but always mean to get more done. Generous to offer it too.
