    I think this is really neat. I Like to tilt the coins at different angles, and see how many reflections I can get. I Wonder if there is a name for this phenomenon? Anyone else have fun doing this? Here's a couple pics to show what I mean. If you have any pics would love to see them. proofcameos 94centobv.jpg proofcameos 94qrtrobv.jpg

    Have you ever opened a mirrored medicine cabinet next to the bathroom mirror at an angle and noticed there are 20 of you?

    Same principle sort of. You have a slightly concaved field giving multiple reflections at the slightly different angles relative to the bust

    Strictly speaking in fun, I could imagine less than truthful people posting this type of photography on ebay, trying to sell something like this as a rarity. Or maybe someone has already tried it. ;) Hope not though.

    Maybe that is why I keep cutting myself whenever I shave!
