    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Nice coin! I was torn between 64+ and 65.

    As nice as the coin is, however, those pictures are even better. Except for being slightly out of focus at the bottom of the obverse, those pictures are fantastic! You have captured the color quite well, and that is very hard to do.

    Thank you for the compliment. I noticed the focus issue on the obverse as well. I think it was a combination of distortion of the glass I had to shoot through for axial lighting and possibly the coin not sitting completely flat in the holder. I may end up reshooting it, but we'll see. As it was I had to do a nearly 9 image composite of the coin because of the glare.
