It's amazing how much different a coin can look in two photographs....

I recently sent this to Todd for imaging because I was having a heck of a time getting decent photos of the color. Here was my meager attempt at imaging it.

 

 

And here are Todd's. It's hard to believe it's the same coin.

Personally I prefer your obverse image.

Personally I prefer your obverse image.

 

 

I agree...the best part of proofs are the fields and a straight on shot can't capture that color (thumbs u

Very nice. I've had good success snaping photos through a 5X loupe with no flash. My camera is a cheap Kodak EasyShare C182 but you can get those angled images to come out well through a loupe.

Personally I prefer your obverse image.

I was thinking the same thing.

The second set of images appear washed out.

JJ,

See where your obverse photo doesn't show the 'L'? In Todd's it shows nicely, so in this case the 'L' is for 'Lighting'. Todd is a great photographer along with several others on this and other forums. Nice coin, JJ and I think it is with an ANACS certificate, right?(didn't want to say "assume").

Wow, now that is a sweet coin!

Nice coin and images! Toned proof copper is one of the most difficult type of coin to photograph IMO.
