This is just the photographed collection of one collector, it is not all coins that were ever minted, but the photography is impressive.

| Nice but maybe it's just me being old but I just can't see going through the trouble of posting photos of a coin collection. So the world can see them is OK I guess but when you consider the really big collectors with millions of dollars in coins possibly, and not one Photo web site. HMMMM. |

Pretty good photography! Plus, you can click on the photos to enlarge them and see more detail. If I were a decent photographer, I'd do the same.
But I have no photography skills, so it's a moot point.  |

| The easiest method is to check all your friends, neighbors and/or relatives for a photographer. Then take the coins you want photographed, show them to him or her, bet them a drink or something they can't take a great photo of those coins. They will win, you buy the drinks, you now have a bunch of great photos and no problems. |

I am constantly amazed by the ingenuity shown by the members of this forum. |

| There is also a web site called www.coppercoins.com The guy that has that site also has a forum there on coin photography. He has taken virtually thousands of photos of coins and has two books out full of those photos. |
