Message:: [QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2759664, member: 77413"]My animations with just two frames were intentionally meant to be a lower bound, a starting point that is easy to achieve. More is better, but even with two frames the experience is significantly improved. For study of varieties of deeper research into surface conditions, I have learned to post still images of the obverse and reverse as well. It's become a kind of personal style. The choice of whether to move the coin, or to move the lights, and which angles to the camera and the lights are used, can give different effects. [USER=1765]@messydesk[/USER] and [USER=73983]@jtlee321[/USER] have achieved dramatic results that are not like each other's and not like what I have done. You can emphasize luster or a forensic study of specific features. Here is one with only three frames. The coin does not have any cartwheel luster, but does have some shininess. I don't know whether it means it was cleaned; I need other opinions. Does this help you understand the coin better?[ATTACH=full]634000[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]634003[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]634004[/ATTACH] For contrast, here is a different 1926 with normal luster.[ATTACH=full]634032[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
