I have 3 sources, over-head 60W flood at 270°, 60W compact flourescent diffused at 45°and a natural light desklamp diffused for ambient flood-fill.
WOW! That's a fantasic 23S, I can't believe the die state and of course the wood is a bonus IMO. Wheats are well formed for a 23S. Cheek,...
Finally found a 2006 BU with most of the steps! I had come to the conclusion that an FS example was impossible...this coin gave me a glimmer of...
Beyond a shadow of a doubt in my mind....the Lincoln Memorial series. As a runner-up, I have to say the three cent nickel. I gave up on the series...

WOW! Give me his number, I'm cashing it! :eat:
