I recently bought this coin, and wanted to show the difference between the seller's pics and my own.
I had a hunch it looked better than their picture.
The coin has a brown patina and I think it was a good deal for $45.
The seller's flip was labeled as Constantine I Follis, Trier mint, 330-331.

Your image is soooo much better. The seller's image looks flat and not so attractive. Yours on the other hand look very nice. Again, I love patina and now yours shows it off. Nice coin.

Excellent pictures. How do you get such great images? I can't take a good picture to save my life.

Thanks! I use a simple point-and-shoot, a Canon SD790IS--f8, 1/100s, hand-held.
Its macro capabilities are nearly as good as dSLRs with dedicated macro setups.
