If you aren't happy with my asking price, feel free to shoot me an offer, but please don't complain. Yes, some pieces in my collection I highly value, so you will want to make an offer that's strong enough for me to part with that item. Some coins, rounds and bars have dings, scratches, toning, smudges, etc. You should be able to see these imperfections in the images provided. I won't point them out individually, thus the quantity and quality of the images taken.
"1oz" means 1 troy ounce and most of them are not exactly 1oz... Sometimes a bit over, sometimes a bit under. Please view the last image with the scale. Please view all photos to see exactly what I have here.
Some coins/bars can be AU or BU or better or worse. I'll let you decide. If I do not respond, that means your answer is right here in the listing. If you show disrespect in my direction, you will be blocked from doing business with me.I have neither the time nor the patience for disrespectful humans... You will receive exactly what is described in listing and/or shown in photos.
If you do not, then we have a problem and I'd like to know about it asap. And if you see a big sale happening, that means I need funds NOW. If you do not see "it" or read about "it", then "it" is not included.It has nothing to do with this item itself. PHOTOGRAPHY: - Some of these images are created by using axial illumination with a Sony A6400 & the Sony 70-200mm F4 Macro lens Gen II, using both a newer LED (blue in color) and an older Mag-Lite (yellow/orange in color)... Some with no flashlights and only an LED overhead light (having fun with different types of lighting). Some images are with the Sigma 18-50mm 2.8 lens on the Sony A6400 inside an LED light box, sitting on an old mirror or black surface. Lighting can be tricky so I try to capture each piece at different angles with different types of lighting to show you as much detail as I can.
I see some sellers using fake edits for their coins. I won't do that to you. Lots of time spent taking all these photos... But most of my time is spent editing; cropping, adding light, etc.
I want each image to be as nice as possible. Yes, I'm a photographer that cares. I began studying, learning and practicing photography in 2011....
Starting with Canon, then to Nikon and now Sony. If you'd like to see my work, I'm E. Don't like the total you see?
I drive to the post office to get your item(s) safely handed off, so that takes time, gas and wear/tear on my truck. If your package gets lost or destroyed, you're covered for the amount paid. If that's a problem, please speak up. NO local pickups, unless otherwise specified in the listing. Quite costly in time and gas. OTHER: - From time to time, I lose items. I try to stay organized, but sometimes it happens. I do not use a telephone to communicate... Besides, I'm getting old and have a bad memory. No time to chat on the telephone (I'm a Grandpa now). I'm a "ONE MAN SHOW" over here.I'm not a large company and I have no employees. I do it all myself. For those of you that do, I applaud you, as it seems there are fewer and fewer of you out there.
I have my entire financial future invested into my inventory. Yes, my "retirement" plan is on my shelves. My place of business is located on an expensive part of planet Earth. Rent is due every month.... Then that mortgage will be due every month.Thanks for keeping this a smooth and simple process. Barton Photography Sonoma County, CA.
