    i agree ... the toning on the top one is striking! Is that NT or AT?

    110% Natural mint set toning. I have a few from that date with similar color. 1958 D's can tone some wild colors. Without a doubt the best date for toned franklins with 1957 coming in a close second :)
     
  9. Pretty sure it was Cyclops from XMEN. You are now the owner of the "Cyclops Franklin" variety. TC

    Those are beautiful!
    Reminds me of a few that one of my friends known as Chameleon Coins had a while back. Did you take those pictures?

    Very nice photos again, you seem to be doing just fine with taking them!
    What is your setup?

    Speak of the devil!

    For your photography, how do you make sure that they end up the same size?

    My setup is nothing special at all. I use 2 desk lamps with 100w reveal bulbs in each one. My camera is a Nikon coolpix L20. Its a cheap camera and does a good job to give an idea what kind of color a coin has but it tends to make the color look a bit mushy. Many coins that i photo that have nice rainbow bands the camera doesnt show them as they would appear in hand. For editing all i use is photoscape in order to crop the photo roundly and to put the obverse and reverse together as one. After i fill in the white area via photoshop with the black paint can.

    I use two halogen lamps, a crappy Exlim Casio camera, and Photoscape as well. Two peas in the same pod eh? :)
    Still not getting my photos to turn out that good, but they are alright for now.

    Thanks for sharing!

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

    Those are both beautiful naturally toned mint set coins. The first one is really nice, but looks alot like many others.

    The second one is outstanding - the blue and purple crescent at the bottom is very unusual. I like it a lot!

    I think I finally have a setup that works for Axial Lighting. I moved the setup sideways so i didn't knock everything over every time I wanted to adjust the light.

    Anyway, this is a shot from a 1962 Whitman Folder. It is a coin I would consider ruined by tarnish and corrosion. Am I right?
