<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Denis Richard, post: 24850914, member: 112673&quot;]I understood your comment &quot;It is next to impossible to capture colorful fields from brilliant proof coins if they are slabbed&quot; as a limitation of color capture caused by the coin being slabbed. My point was that slabs only limit straight-down direct lighting, the kind provided by static axial lighting, and I don&#039;t use axial lighting on slabs for this reason. Still, for some coins in slabs, controlled, almost perpendicular light beams - not diffused but with a honeycomb grid to keep the beam straight - can bring out almost an equal amount of color as direct axial light, without any glare. My examples intended to compare the PCGS true view image - taken of the coin out of the slab- to one taken in the slab with near perpendicular controlled lighting to show the similarities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
