    Joe, It’s time to start giving us photo tips on how you capture the color and luster of your Buffalos. I for one would be very interested.

      I use a Nikon SLR D-3500 with a Sigma Macro lens. I also use a copy stand with 4 lights but most of the time I only use two depending on the coin I’m imaging. The last thing you want to do is hit your coin with to much light, this is a big mistake made by a lot of folks, it tends to wash out the coins color & details.
      I enjoy imaging my collection almost as much as I enjoy collecting. A great book to buy for imaging coins is ” Numismatic Photography” by “Mark Goodman” you’ll find some great information in this book. My collection mostly consists of Buffalo Nickels but I also enjoy other coins. If you want, just send me your email address and I’ll answer any questions you may have. I just a lonely old fart with lots of time on my hands, I’m retired. It would be my pleasure….Joe

        Thanks. I think I’m one of those people who put too much light on the coins. They always look washed out. I also probably need a real macro lens instead of using the macro setting on my camera. Maybe I should add it to my wish list, along with Mark Goodman’s book – every one seems to recommend it.

    Just as soon as I can get used to this forum and all the end & outs I’ll be more than happy to assist in any way I can.

    Very nice-and on an ADE variety, too! This particular NF variety comes paired with two different reverse dies-one of which is a minor Class VI doubled die and the other which is a normal die. This second die is much the rarer of the two.
