2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

Inquiring mind

If someone was inquiring about trying to get into taking HR photos of coins, what would one recommend for equipment? Also, please keep mind that this person would need to start with very basic equipment due to income in/over income out.

There's a good video at https://www.archive.org on the subject. Looks like the video was presented by the Texas Numismatic Association at a convention about 8 years ago, but it covers all the basics. The link to the video is https://archive.org/details/TNA12001CoinPhotography.

www.archive.org is a great resource for older numismatic information such as news, reports, mint records, newsletters, prices, etc. It's treasure trove for anything historic. Lots of older scanned books.

Hope this helps!
