Coin Photography

From tiny eraser-sized coins up to monster medallions no coin is too challenging to capture using a Nikon D300 digital camera mated with a Nikkor 60mm macro lens, widely regarded as among the finest macro lenses ever made. Each coin is custom photographed depending on a number of factors including metal, surface type, relief, thickness, etc. The raw image is then processed in PhotoShop to match the image as closely as possible to the appearance of the actual coin. This means no phony patinas, assembly-line batch work or any other digital tricks to cut corners. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Coins photographed will usually be available by email within a couple days. The cost per coin is $3.00. I can also burn a CD with the images for an additional $3 for any number of coins in your order. In addition you will need to cover shipping expenses to and from my location including any insurance desired. I strongly recommend sending coins via registered mail as I cannot be held responsible for coins that never reach me. Please contact me by email at rasiel@dirtyoldcoins.com prior to shipping your coins for more details.

Sorry, I do not photograph artifacts or group lots.
