magusxxx Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 04/08/2008 06:09 am I work at a convenience store and we received a bunch of Grizzly Snuff tins. A woman wanted only the chew and not the tins. I instantly thought of what I could use them for. So, for now on this will be the backdrop for the pictures I will be posting. In case you're interested, the tins were promos sold for $1.29. So even if you're not interested in the chew, it wouldn't cost much to snag one yourself. Report this Post to the Staff

I've found a black background or a white background work best for my coin photography. YMMV. Edited by hunter20ga 04/08/2008 08:53 am Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 10:51 am Very creative idea !!... I've thrown away so many similar "tins" through the years.....I kept them for awhile, because they were "neat", but then it just ended up being crap that I never utilized and they took up too much space, so I pitched them ! I do have a cedar jewewlry box that I got from Mammoth Cave Kentucky years back........but I'm sure it would provide some "toning" to different coins.....so I have yet to put anything in there "coin wise".........I've never purposely toned a coin !! What coin ideas would anyone have for putting something in this cedar box ?.....or should I not ?.... Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 11:47 am Wonder how the photos would look if you left the snuff in. Report this Post to the Staff
penny pincher Valued Member United States 429 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 7:18 pm I think it would be neat just to be able to distinguish your images easier because of the background. It also seems to be a little safer place to hold it for a picture because it would be harder to drop the entire tin rather than just a coin. Report this Post to the Staff
