bill Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I've been experimenting with ways to show my coins in photographs that make them interesting for the numismatist and non-collector alike. I've started with my historic medals and jetons where I can search for early images that are more likely than not to be out of copyright. In any event, I've not yet thought about selling any of the images, so copyright is a little less dicey. You can see the beginnings of my ideas in some of my museum posts of medals and jetons. I've posted some of the actual montages here for comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 That is actually VERY nice bill. There is something similar to most of the world modern coin sets like this one here I have: http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=257667 but none for the older coins. Would be very nice to see what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpnyc Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 A very nice approach you are taking. Looks very time-consuming but in my opinion, worth every minute you spent. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Well, my idea is similar to something they have already done, and others have done similar things as well, there are few truely orginal ideas). What I like about the approach is that it broadens the interest beyond the coin itself for the none collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Very nice work. I see the beginnings of either a great coffee table book or your own 2007 calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akdrv Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Great stuff Bill. Have you considered exhibiting these, with actual medals, at an ANA convention or some other exhibition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I'm working towards something like that. For now, you can see how my ideas are coming together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
