Here is version 2 of the obv. I repositioned the lights to be more indirect, which required a doubling of the exposure. [IMG]
Thanks physics-fan, using 2 lights in reflectors, left and right. I'll play around some with the positioning, the hot spots bothered me a bit...

I really like those!

That is one weird looking coin. Jefferson would probably have been familiar with the use of bloodletting and leeches (note the spelling) for...
Well I'm 7months late but the 78cc posted above has to be fake due to the type 1 reverse. Course there is a ton wrong with it otherwise:...
This dollar has enough brown stuff on it to qualify as enviro damage, I think, and someone removed some of it from the obverse, although without...
The coin in the OP is a pretty good fake to my eyes. The most obvious problem I see is the poorly formed edge reeding. I don't see any problems...
Looks nice, but you really can't grade proofs from photos since the hairlines don't show up well, and that is the main determinant of grade. Hope...
welcome! As to the coin, that gray patch in front of the eyes looks odd, could be cleaned, the mottled look to the surface could mean all sorts...
