<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1806886, member: 19463"]'In hand' look is a myth because the way a coin looks 'in hand' depends on what light you are using when looking. The most accurate look for most people is in a dark room with poor lighting but we might enjoy our coins more if we looked at them in a special controlled, bright light. How many of you examine a new coin under a high intensity lamp and how many open the mailer and look in whatever light is on at the time?</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the new obverse but the reverse bothers me still so it is not the end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
