Custom Coin Photography Services
|
Cost: $10/coin + return shipping costs. I ship insured for less than $500 value and registered for >$500.
Process: You send your coins to me and I take photographs of them, raw or slabbed. I will clean and shine the
slabs to the best of my ability (I can only do so much with heavily scratched slabs). I will image the coins and
send you proofs by E-Mail or post them to my webspace. If you don't like the initial images, I'll work to get the
look that you're after. Once we decide that the images are good, I'll create final images and send the coins back
to you. After the final images are produced, I can send them to you by E-Mail, post them to my webspace, or
burn them on a CD. I keep originals of all the images that I take, so if you need a different size or format in the
future, I can help you out.
Number of Coins: I don't like to work with too many more than 10 at a time to avoid confusion.
Time to Image: I'll image them as quickly as I can, but I do have another job that keeps me busy. Please be
patient. I can finish most work in a week or less. If I have more than one job going I may take a little longer or I
may have to out your job off for a bit to allow me to catch up. I don't want you to be away from you coins for
too long.
Format: I can put the image into most any image format, but JPG is the most common.
Image Size: The original images tend to run in the 2300 x 2300 pixel size range. Most any size below that is
fine. Composites of the obv and rev are also available. Black or other color backgrounds are optional
