[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 884342, member: 7638"]Thanks, Dok. It goes pretty fast once the reflecting glass angle is adjusted just right. More silver: AU Peace Dollar [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/Peace1921obv.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/Peace1921rev.jpg[/IMG] A deeply toned Morgan that was in an old folder in my Dad's lock box for about 40 years; regular lighting caused too much flash on the cheek for my taste. [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/morgan1881-Orev.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/morgan1881-Oobv.jpg[/IMG] This 1843 Dollar has a thick, brown tone; regular lighting makes it look too flat and dull; with axial light you can see the luster around the devices and the design 'pops out.' [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/Dollar1843rev.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/Dollar1843obv.jpg[/IMG] Another Fugio: Axial light seems to show the surface texture and color better than standard lighting, imo, but it's a close call.
