    Thanks. Sometimes I think they look better than the average UNC from that time period.

    I wonder how much these photos are different than in real life. I know my microscope didn't pick up half the colors on some of my coins. These look good here, but I imagine these all are brilliant in person.

    It is all about the lighting. Most of us use a dslr and have 2-4 lights that we can move around to light the coin. We also have the ability to make adjustments to the aperture, fstop and white balance.

    My 1939 caribou quarter looks different out of the sun light.

    Nice rose coloring on the reverse. That's a beautiful 1960 - pristine
