Just finished photographing a toned Rosy set. (Enjoy - Dial up beware)

This is a set I did for a forum member across the street. Thought you guys might enjoy seeing what I believe to be a complete natural album toned rosy set.

This last two weeks I undertook what may be my largest project to date. Sanction II (from across the street) showed me a fantastic toned Rosy set at the last Santa Clara show that he picked up for a song at a local dealer. He then moved the set from an album to an old original Capital holder which was made sometime before they new there would be no mint marks from 1965-1968 displayed on the holder.
I immediately knew this set had to be photographed and below are the results.
First a few notes about the photography:
-Because of the size of this project I allowed two shots per side, one angled for luster and color and the other parallel to the lens
-The number one priority for me was to capture luster and color, this means I sacrificed focus/detail because I had to angle the coin away from the lens to do this. If the photo became too blurry then I would default to the photo with the coin parallel to the lens which mutes the color and luster but everything is in focus.
Edited: The clads were added after the fact as fillers. I have no idea if they would have toned in the same album that the silvers were originally in.

Thank you for sharing a beautiful set. I really have grown fond of toned coins.

 

great coins, great pics

 

That's a beautiful set! :bigeyes: Very well matched IMO. Thanks for sharing!

 

The set is beautiful and the photography outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

 

I couldn't agree more. A gorgeous set of coins and beautifully presented. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the 1960-D, WOW! I have a 1961-D that looks a little like yours with the toning reversed.



How long did it take you to assemble that collection?

 

This is a set that a friend on the PCGS forums purchased in an album and then transfered to an old Capital holder. I have no idea how long the original owner took to assemble the set. It's possible it was completed in the 60's.

I just had the honor of photographing the set.

If you goto the PCGS forum and do a search for SANCTION II in the title you can read the whole story in post #23.
