Agreed. Will bugger off. In my defence I did get drawn back in. But I'm off properly this time.

Go to the photography section.  Sounds like you would have a lot of great experience to share.

2 of these. One Brit and one Cypher. Just to feed my buying addiction.

Thanks to @arphethean .  Another couple for the date run.

I’d love a kilo version of the cypher in silver. I wonder if they produced one?

Never seen one to be honest. 

Next large silver i want will be the 10oz TB completer i think. Already have the QB one so would look nice together.

Another day, another dollaridoo . . .

Will do. I'm in the mood to get my old camera out now lol

Just something I noticed on the latest silver proof uncoloured dinosaur 50p - in the rippled background you can still see traces of contour lines that haven't been fully polished out.

These reflect the depth resolution of the laser cutting machine.

Translation:

250 is a particular grade or part number of translucent plastic lighting gel to make the light from the source flatter if you shine the light through the gel.  I've got some that diffuses the light less, which has a different part number.

4 stop filter is smoky grey coloured plastic that blocks 15/16 of the light going through.  I found that blocking all the light with a bit of card made the shadows too dark and you couldn't see the detail.  Some of the others I've done recently were with 1 or 2 stop gels, which block 1/2 and 3/4 of the light respectively, but I thought they weren't contrasty enough so I tried some 4 stop gel.

👍great pics as usual👍

Hello, one of the last coins minted by the Pobjoy Mint. I just had to have it, what are you going to do about it. Greetings from Maxe.

2017 Fiji (Scottsdale Mint) 1oz Silver: Hokusai - The Great Wave

Freed from the OMP and capsule, this looks so much better.  You can really see the various textures, and is a great advert for photographing coins outside of capsules if at all possible.

I have included two different lighting setups.  I prefer the first, but the second almost looks like a different coin.

So you did buy the 2003 after all.  It is a nice design - I may get some of the special reverse Brits at some point.
