COIN REVEAL: Zoomed in close ups of silver coins

in #proofofbrain2 years ago
Authored by @@strenue

Today's coin reveal post features close up, zoomed in pictures of silver coins from my stack. I love zooming onto photos that I have taken previously to look at the close up detail of the coin designs. I thought I would share some of the zoomed in pictures with you to enjoy the intricate details of the coins.

The high-relief proof coins are by far the most intricate in detail when zoomed in. The proof coins with the mirror background often show a reflection in the coin of the design, if you look at the kookaburra and liversaver coin below you will see what I am referring too.

Coins like the southern right whale and the northern hairy-nosed wombat coins have a matte background and are not high-relief, so although they still have impressive detail when zoomed in, the detail is not at striking as the high-relief or the proof coins.

I think I might start a sub-series within the COIN REVEAL posts where I share more zoomed in close ups of other coins that I purchase and photograph in the future.

I hope you enjoy scrolling through the zoomed in close ups of the coins and appreciate the intricate details of each coin design. Please share some zoomed in close ups of coins or bars from your stack in the comments below. Also let me know which coins designs from this post are your favourite. Until next time, keep stacking! ⛏

IMG_6955.jpgYes, I know what you are saying. I look at Coins and Bars as miniature Art Work. Thanks for showing & sharing, Strenue - @strenue.

That's cool, love the toning glow in the background.

You should look into macro photography, my phone does a pretty good job

Yes I do have a macro lens in storage, when we move back into our house I plan to set up an area where I can do the macro photography.

Wow, that eagle is in 3D

Nice job on the close-ups!
