We often shake our head in amazement how some photos are so good that it is almost like looking at the real coin on your screen. Here is a link to an excellent tip without having to buy expensive professional equipment to obtain very good results. Have a read Here are two photos taken this afternoon using the techniques advocated in the link.   |

Tell you what Lars...for every one you can supply me with, I will pay you $250.00, year of issue or condition of the coin is immaterial....will even go to $300 for 1967 or 1968...[:p]  |

Great article Lim. I am a total novice and avoid posting photo's for that reason. I have the right equipment and I should have added practicing photo's of coins as one of my collecting goals for the New Year! Thanks, Mike Edited by Mike

Would love to see one and possibly get one....don't laugh, I have gold coins from quite a lot of countries but not even one from the US.....a matter I must correct this year. Here are the rest of the Krugs that made up that 1983 set.    |

Thanks a lot for the article. I gave up after struggling with too bright coins. The jug trick is excellent  |

I use a 10 litre water container. You will need to experiment with lighting. I use three small halogen lights and it works perfectly for me... |

1983 was the last year that they made gold 1 and 2 rands as well. The Krugerrands introduced in 1980 had taken over the mantle of SA's gold coins. The old 1 and 2 rands were equivalent to Imperial Sovereigns and Halfs in size and weight.     |
