I wanted to post a great Norway coin I recently received from ElleKitty--just photographed today.
She was very generous to part with one of her feline coins in a trade.  Thanks!


shot using a Nikon D70S with the Nikkor 60mm macro at f25.

Great details, color and very clean, square rims!

That is a beautiful coin and Ellekitty is a beautiful person.
She is responsible for many of the coins in my collection.

I really have to get myself a decent camera. The old point and shoot just doesn't cut it anymore.

Nice coin Kurt. Miss Kitty has sent me some neat stuff too, most of which I did not have an example of in my collection! Just love adding new stuff to my collection! It (my collection) grows almost daily!

Wow, Kurt.  That coin never looked so good when I had her.   I really am glad that everyone enjoys the coins that I send to them.   I enjoy knowing that I can make my friends happy.

Miss Kitty, I agree. Making someone happy is one of the greatest feelings to have in one's life. When I hand out some inexpensive world coins to kids, be it at church, or a coin show, I love to watch their little faces light up with joy. Giving to others and making others happy is one of the greatest feelings I know of!!!

Quite agreed, Sir Triggersmob.

EK,
I think the 2x2 somewhat obscured this coin's looks. After several weeks in mineral oil to treat a tiny spot of verdigris, the coin looks as you see here--the color is fairly accurate.    My camera does a pretty good job too (Nikon dSLR w/macro lens). All that remains is to improve my lighting setup.  Thanks all for your comments!

Very beautiful coin KurtS.
