  1. Thank you! Art,you can adjust for your eye the diopter adapter located near the wiewfinder on most of DSLR's and then you can attach a magnifier to the viewfinder. Olympus has a thing like this named Varimagni :http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FLIW9U/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller= As I know and Nikon, Canon, etc have similar focus finders available.
  2. I am a big fan of old Olympus OM cameras, I used to have up to 6 different models at a time (now I have "only" 3...). Not long time ago I purchased an old bellows system for macro photography, with a dedicated 50mm f 3.5 Zuiko lens. Not in very good looking shape, but fully functional, and I tested it once with one of my film cameras. As a digital camera I have an Olympus e-620 wich I bought thinking about my good old zuiko lenses. I use them on my digital camera with an adapter. Yesterday I adapted the bellows to the digital camera and I made some test shots on the coins with natural sun light. The only problem is that there is no autofocus, so I spent some time with the "fine tuning" but I like the results so much that I posted the photos on my blog. Today I photographed some more coins. Next step will be the acquisition of a dedicated LED flash ring. I would like to see your comments or suggestions. http://numisfera.ro/poze-de-monede-cu-burduf/ http://numisfera.ro/poze-monede-cu-burduf-2/

  4. Banivechi, group 8, NCLT, 2 Riyals 1969 Yemen Raging Lion Like elverno said: "An oddly beautiful coin from what is now a failed state." 10 Leke 1968 Albania Skenderbeg 1000 Kronor 1974 Iceland The Geyser Coin
  5. It's not fair to make only one group group for 1901-2000! Compare Group 6 with group 7! The richest century in numismatic items versus 9 years of low artistic value and plenty of NCLT's! In my opinion it's better to assimilate 2001-present with NCLT and split in two the 1900-2000 period.
  6. Look at this one with QEII on the obverse: http://cgi.ebay.com/elf-Cook-Islands-1-Dol...=item5637e0e694
  7. My 1893 50 cents. Surface looks a bit porous, the weight is correct and it sounds. Can be a fake? (I bought it at Numismata Berlin from an British dealer in a 70-80 coins lot, inclusive an Ionian Islands 1819 obol, Zanzibar pysa and British west indies 1/4 dollar 1822).
  8. We have a friend here, see323, from that point of the world map. A very important point for the British Empire, now one of the most succesful independent state.
  9. And I have one Straits Settlements coin, result of cherrypicking from Numismata Berlin in past october. Surface is a bit porous, the colour is suspect, the weight is correct and the sound is ok. Any opinions?
  10. Scottishmoney is in Europe (Ukraine) as I know. I am sure that he is ok.
  11. Bill just sent me an unexpected gift (and very interesting too!). Many Thanks!

  14. As always another great trade! Thanks Harri!
  15. Received today some superb coins from Jeff! It made my day!
  16. I got a Peace dollar from Jeff. Delivered in 5 days from US to Europe! A real pleasure to deal with!
  17. Congrats Grivna! It was not a simple identification, and it was fast!
