<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cremebrule, post: 1612562, member: 35227&quot;]Here&#039;s another fresh one from Robec. I picked this one up from ebay for $6 -- took a gamble, and it looks like it paid off! Super strong cameo contrast with a strong rainbow band on both the obverse and reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Under indirect light:</p><p><img src="http://robecsimages.com/photos/cremebrule/cremebrule_1961Lincoln_PRo4r3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Under direct light:</p><p><img src="http://robecsimages.com/photos/cremebrule/cremebrule_1961Lincoln_PRo6r5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s interesting to note how on proof coins exclusively, the colors seen on the coin&#039;s surfaces under indirect light appear to show one spectrum, while under direct light the color literally flips to its opposite shade on the color wheel! Here&#039;s a common color wheel graph below:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.tigercolor.com/color-lab/color-theory/images/color-wheel-300.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Specific color shades seen under indirect light seem to &quot;flip&quot; to the shade on the exact opposite side of the color wheel, as you can see on robec&#039;s pictures. The red band in the first (indirect light) photo corresponds to the same place where the green band is in the second (direct light) photo, the blue where the orange is, and so forth. There&#039;s another proof I have which has the same thing happening as you &quot;roll&quot; the coin in/out of direct light; I&#039;ll post those pictures once robec photographs it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
