    Have you tried flooding it with lights from all directions? Maybe setting up 4 lights around the slab or setting up your lights and wraping tissue paper around the slab?

    Okay thanks, I tried it with numerous lights and the tissue paper and it looks better (but still not really good)

    I think you might have your lights too close to the coin and you might need brighter lights? Just a suggestion.

    Take it outside and use natural lighting.

    High, bright, indirect lighting works well with slabbed toners.

    Stunning RAINBOW Roosevelt!!!

    This one won't be on sale from Penny Pincher Coins because this one actually belongs to me! It's stunning and pics don't do it justice.

    Love the reverse of your Peace Dollar. It's like the Eagle is perched there with a blazing of fire all around.

    Nice. The cu-ni clads seem to go sky-blue and copper quite frequently. That's a great example. Here's one of mine...

    As much as I try and keep Frankie out of my life, he always finds a way back in. This was my first Frankie. Just re-imaged it for inventory.

    Very unique. Did the plastic stick to it when you took it out? Was it malformed at all, possibly from heat?
