If anyone ever purchased a Modahaus steady stand and wishes to sell it im interested. i think the company may have gone bust. I cant find any available on Amazon ebay etc.

I am interested to know if anyone has had success at great coin photography using an Iphone. I believe its possible and i'm looking to create a setup that works,that is easily copied by others and is not cost prohibitive. I am asking as this may already have been accomplished by someone on the site, in which case i will evaluate their system and if possible make improvements. My setup will consist of a copystand, appropriate lighting (could be ring lighting or led lights) a suitable platform to place the coin and of course an iphone. Looking forward to your responses.

Any advise on the best copystand?

Looks like I missed the boat all sold out

I agree Paddy. If Richard only knew how much assistance to us minnows he provides. I use Gouby and RICHARD the lion heart.

Will anyone who finds any with the correct hole spacings please inform us all. Ive also tried and failed.

As a Minnow and never having seen a freeman reference book i stand corrected. When i see freeman 3 I had never stopped to think that could be a reference to an Obverse. So today i learnt that Freeman 3 is the obverse on the F13 coin.I should have realised my error as Richard mentioned the reference for the Gouby obverse first. I need to acquire a reference from Gouby Obv/Rev to Freeman Obv/Rev.

Referenced by Gouby as BP1860L Obv E Rev D. (My example has the floating ship, which confused me as the only mention of the floating ship by Gouby is on Rev E.)

Secret Santa - i stand to be corrected but i think you meant to say Freeman 13.

Thanks ordered

Had not realised that an update pack was available. Have just sent Michael an email to enquire costs, etc. Always worth checking into predecimal. Thanks

Thanks guess i need to purchase this book if im going to improve my skills.

Thank you Jerry. What is the key identifying feature that makes it a rev g?

I have graded as VF? Is the reverse E

Agreed.As mine is a small convenience store near a college many of my customers are students often purchasing soft drinks and crisps etc. My products are all price marked perhaps the suppliers will start factoring in this cost when deciding on their prices.

Shopkeepers like myself would disagree. Contactless payments of small amounts hit us directly in the pocket. Banks charge us a transaction fee for every contactless payment reducing our profits significantly.

JLS, thanks for your thorough and clear response. regards Fred

Bob, Thanks for your response, I can however say that i bought this coin many years ago and as i stated besides acetone bath I have not done anything else to this coin. best regards Fred

placed in acetone then dried a cotton bud dipped in aacetone. That was about 4 years ago and is now housed in coin capsule .

Its been wiped with a cotton bud dipped in acetone.

I have this at Aunc - please walk me through why you have graded it lower? Why does it appear dipped?

1 - have i referenced correctly? 2. What grade would you give this?

Easy mistake I must learn to reference correctly

OK i see it the inner rim is thinner hence Obverse C right?

After dancing around the house I re-read your reply - so its not a Gouby BP1860BB which is Freeman 8B, but rather Gouby BP1860E which is freeman 6. Is that correct?
