<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ike Skywalker, post: 4644092, member: 82381&quot;]This is correct. The key to the vivid colors often showcased in TrueViews is the axial lighting setup they use, but they don&#039;t use it exclusively. I have an Ike proof that looks remarkably different in hand vs. the TrueView. But, when viewed at the right angle my eyes do see the &quot;TrueView&quot; coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Composite slab image using the TrueView image (axial lighting):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147559[/ATTACH]</p><p>Composite slab &quot;in-hand&quot; image (direct light):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147560[/ATTACH]</p><p>So, what does this coin really look like? It looks exactly like BOTH images depending on the angle in which it&#039;s viewed. However, under most viewing conditions, the coin looks bluish-purple like the second image taken by me with direct light. But there is that one particular angle where you will &quot;see&quot; the TrueView image. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=113513]@Deerslayer88[/USER] - Like you, I also like to see pictures of the slab along with the TrueView. The main reason is because I want to see how the coin is oriented in the holder. I would be disappointed if I received a coin and it was turned, say, 90 degrees in the holder. That would bug me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
