    I have not shared this photo here and it is one of my favorites, I welcome opinions!

    Nice tone, nice clashing, what's not to like?

    The obverse has more dark tone. It is not set off as nice as the reverse and hence I have not edited a nice full size shot of it. If I remember right the coin is a NGC 64.

    If you remember right?

    Why not just look in your other hand and look at the slab?

    There's nothing not to like; that's a flashy coin !

    I've always loved the Rays reverse; I love how this coin's natural toning accentuates the rays. This one really "jumps out", and the combo of rays and tone complement each other perfectly.

    For those on the "toned coins" thread a while back, this coin shows wonderful surfaces.

    Ohhh - luster toning - very sweet reverse no matter which forum you post it in. Very nice picture.

    Gotta agree... marvelous photo.

    Care to share any secrets ? Lighting ? Filter ? Whitebox ? It really is a lovely shot... really brings out the colors.

    Great coin, not easy to find in this condition and eye appeal.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    That is beautiful. I do not yet own any Seated Liberties, but I would love for them to look like that when I do.

    I must say, all the photos that I've seen from you are absolutely fantastic, Todd!
    I love the reverse, but I just gotta see the obverse!
