    LOL.... Are you familiar with the 'Blame Canada' song from South Park? Just substitute Canada with Paddy and were golden. HAHAHAHA!!

    In all seriousness, I do thank you for turning me onto the '38-D Buffalo. There was a time where I just did not appreciate a T2 Buffalo, I cared only for the T1. But the '38-D comes with an amazing strike and gorgeous eye appeal with a relatively low price tag. Everything I love. :)

    I have not been bitten by the half dime bug yet, I'm more interested in the Seated Liberty dimes, although I don't currently have any yet. I've been wanting to get a nice MS 1838 Lg Stars to add to my collection. The 1838 Lg Stars is what got me interested in coins when I was a kid, it's what my grandmother gave me for Christmas one year. :)

    Didn't seem to do too much on your coin.

    Inspiring nonetheless. Wow.

    I think I can bring a single light closer to even out the lighting. Then an adjustment to the color may work better.

    I’ve got work to do here.

    I understand we all have our likes when it comes to a series...but the buffalo nickel is to me what American coinage is all about.
    So classic.... find a well struck buffalo with a touch of color and you got a masterpiece of Americana.

    Just got the grades on these. I was nearly spot on. My guesses were AU58 on the trade dollar and MS64+ BN on the Indian Cent. They gave the trade AU58 and the Indian MS64 BN.

    Thanks again!
    I invested in the current version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019. They have a haze removal function that I applied to the original images in my first animation. Then I rebuilt the animation from those images. I have not retried this with photos taken through the light reflection, but the photos through the holder are vastly improved by just this one step.

    Lovely. I like those pastel traces of iridescence. Hopefully the flyspeck at 3:00 on the obverse is inert.

    I don't think I ever completely got over my enjoyment of a nice bright steel cent, ever since I first saw one in my cousin's album back in the 1970s.
