I just move the two lights around until I can get a good shot of the coin. I find that toning appears better if you take the photo at a very...
I love the SLQ. [IMG] I just wish everyone would answer these types of threads with photos. Looking at coins is so much more fun than reading...
How about a toned Kennedy Half Dollar. I picked up these two last week on the bay. Sellers photos, I have not gotten them yet. 1968-D NGC MS65...

Ruben, I only added photos to show how the text related visually and comments about some of the photos as they related to the text. Essentially,...
Sure, this is not the coin people usually want to see, but your request is my demand. It is extremely unusual and surprisingly attractive. [IMG]...
