[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 3333964, member: 77413"]OK, that convinces me to post my pictures whether I am welcome or not!

This animation does not support full color fidelity, being limited to 256 colors on each of the 9 frames, but it should give a feel for the satiny finish. There is nothing shiny about this dime. [ATTACH=full]883287[/ATTACH] Now, for full-scale crops at my setup's limit of resolution. Two from the obverse. [ATTACH=full]883294[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]883295[/ATTACH] And two from the reverse. If you look at the plateau of the star you can see how clear it is. [ATTACH=full]883296[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]883297[/ATTACH] Edit: I accidentally captured my mouse cursor in some of the images.
