1991 half sovereign, third portrait date run now complete. 👍

 

[Roy]

Some stealthy collecting there JB 👍

3rd portrait, Vic Jubs....what's next? 😁

[JunkBond]

Jubilee heads still unfinished Roy, 1893 is proving a bugger.

What next indeed, going to give it some thought. Watch this space. 😉

[Roy]

Every bullion half of the 20th century?

I think it's 22 coins? I have 21.

@Elements could probably tell you the one I'm missing 😁 😉

[JunkBond]

That's funny, Elements always knows what I am missing too! 😂

[Roy]

He's a clever chap. Researches thoroughly 👍

It will be a collection that I'll probably never complete.

Ah ok. Mmm might take a while, JBs 1893 was a toughy but they come up eventually 🧐 Problem is the price might not be right!

I'm a hobby collector! 😁

I have lost out on two1893's  @Roy by not bidding enough. 🙄

This wasn’t received today or even this year, but looking through some bullion I spotted this, think it’s a decent MS grade! Only a few small bag marks. Pity it’s not a very rare year

Yes true. I’ll put to the side to send to grade at some point when I have some others

I am really fond of South-East Asia culture and architecture. This year the Tiffany Art Serie has highligted Angkor Wat and the Khmer style. I didn't  know this serie before and I decided to order this release. This is a real shock as I have never seen such a beautiful coin, way way way above everything I have seen. Thanks to the the "Smartminting" technologie, we are able to get this incredible level of details and reliefs.

I have tried my best to highlight the coin and the details, but it was really chalenging as it was not with a macro lens ;  I had to shoot in low light to get what I wanted. With this low light, I need a large aperture (that softened the details, and narrowed  the depth of field), and higher iso to get a decent speed but creates noise...

I have managed to get some macros with my phone and a special macro lens, the pictures are not good, but you can see the incredible level of details, all in a 5 cm diameter. 

I am hooked by this piece of art and I am pleased to share it with you. I will definitely not flip it ! Grab it at the "low price" while you can if you are interested ...it really worths it

Ok, this is not a forum about photography technics so enjoy ☺️

This piece is indeed remarkable in its medal like depth and detail. Not less remarkable the is the disappearance of the culture that created the temple complex and how it has survived millennia in the jungle climate. Or was this temple city in use more recent than his story ans want us to believe...
