[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2883835, member: 77413"]That is a really good idea. Dramatically toned coins are almost impossible to photograph once they are in plastic. The light angle that excites the thin-film interference and brings out the color - that’s the same angle that relects light off the plastic into the camera lens. I have tried, and failed, to match the TrueViews. The animated images really should be taken when the coin is outside of a holder. When this happens I can abandon my one-person quixotic crusade to make the still image obsolete![/QUOTE]
