Maybe it's the pics but are the fields hazed? I like DMPL's!!!!!!
Nope, no haze, very mirrored. I took several dozen pics trying to get the reflection illustrated well but failed miserably lol. That's the best I could do. If there is some trick to getting the camera to focus on the reflection and not the coin itself I couldn't figure it out. The coin is a 62DMPL.

 

It's hard to capture in the plastic.

I think the trick is to get the camera to focus on the test in the mirrors of the coin instead of the text on the paper the coin is sitting on. When I can figure that out it'll make for killer pics.

I take the pic from about a 30 degree angle above the coin which is held in a vertical position. Try using black or red print on a white background. The red background seems to mask the definition.

Nice mirrors!! :) Picked this one up from the PO today. Nothing fantastic or anything, POP 4/1, and for $49 it's ok to fill a slot.

Those are nice, Shane! You are fortunate that they didn't get mixed up. Back in the 50's, it was not unusual for a hospital to give a "baby" to the wrong parents.

Found this beauty on eBay. The seller declined my offer a month ago,

but the other day I noticed noone had bid on this beautiful coin. I upped

my old offer by $60 and the seller accepted it.

Nice collection going there Shane. I like that Frankie too Bob. Usually the Rev is what keeps them from going Dcam. Looks like the E Pluribus and the Eagle didn't quite go Dcam.
