    I'm not a toning freak, but I love the toning on that coin.

    And truth be told, the more time I spend on this forum, the greater my appreciation of toned coins.

    Evolution of a collector?

    Question to the original poster:

    How did you photograph that coin? Not only is your coin unique, but I also noticed your photo has a very real, almost 3-D, true feel and look to it, like I could see that coin looking identical in my hand... how did you do that? A particular set-up, camera... what's the secret lol?
