2008</H1></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://home.comcast.net/~dougsmit/coinphoto2008.html">It has been several years since I have updated my material
  on the photography of ancient coins so this page will offer opinions
  developed since my earlier pages which are linked at the bottom of this page.
  Opinions may differ on whether my coin photos have improved in these last few
  years but at least a few images have benefited from what I have learned.
  There is room for several opinions on the questions that face a photographer
  of ancient coins and we all must decide which style best renders the coin as
  we would like it to be seen. It should be obvious that some coins, like some
  people, take better pictures than others. We have to decide if we are trying
  to make each subject "Hollywood Handsome" or going for
  "Passport Photos" which show the coin with brutal honesty</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left;
