Philip A Arnold • Numismatic Photographer for hire.
 

1911 Württemberg 25th Wedding Anniversary of Wilhelm and Charlotte. 3 Marks.In today's world there is an ever increasing emphasis on the importance of the image.

Every day people are inundated with a barrage of imagery that is designed to delight, to inform or (and perhaps more commonly) to entice people to buy.

Nowhere is this more evident than, for example, the World Wide Web. You can find anything you could possibly want there and you can sell anything you want there and chances are you could find a buyer. But there is a lot of competition and what sets your offering apart from the others out there is how that offering is presented.

I see it every day on eBay, the world's largest online marketplace. Coins that would sell for a few dollars in an ordinary coin shop being sold far and away above their value based on the quality of the image of the coin. No one's going to risk their hard earned cash on a blurry image or a description that doesn't match a flat scanned picture.

Digital photography offers an unsurpassed ability to present these coins in a suitable way, giving accurate depictions of the coins gloss, luster, tone and condition. The very facets people look for intently when making a numismatic purchase.

I'm offering my services for those of you looking to have photos taken for online auctions, for print or to have a digital archive of your collection. My goal is to enrich the numismatic experience for both those selling and buying.
