Haha, thanks Mike. I snagged it for $27 BIN about 30 minutes after it was posted on eBay. It's very nice in hand! :D

OK, here is my other experiment in imaging toned coins. I had my camera set up for some axial lighting shots, so that's what this one is. The colors are much more delicate on the coin surface, but they come screaming through with this method.

 

Because of the ambiguity in the meaning of the "star", I'm not sure if it's for cameo surfaces on one side (which the obverse exhibits) or if it's for the blush of color on both sides. (shrug)

I think the graders were plain lazy when they graded that Proof 1962 Franklin.

 

Looks tons nicer than a generic PF 65 CAM !!!

 

I'd cross it !

This was in my collection six years ago - and I sold it with

most of the other Quarters in the SLQ collection. Glad to have

her back where she belongs...

Dave's description:

 

Flashy, white and fresh from a collection formed nearly 30 years ago. As a neat association piece, it comes with an old ANACS photo certificate from the early 1980’s.

Its amazing that the 1913 Dime has kept its flash after all these years.

Obviously, you live in a dry climate.

 

Its a very pretty coin ... and love the old documentation with it !!

I had Messydesk image 19 coins for me - all newps - most never have been

shown here - I'll add an image every so often.

 

Here's a favorite...

Thanks, Lee. Its a great coin and something I have wanted for years but never found what I wanted - a solid coin - with as much detail as possible - that I didn't have to remortgage the house for. I purchased this from a collector who was interested in Barber Halves in Baltimore last November. Assisting Glenn had its perks ! Glenn passed on the coin as it was too much money to tie up without having a ready buyer for it. I get to enjoy it for awhile before I sell it, which I hope isn't for a long time !

 

Here's another newp recently imaged:
