<p>[QUOTE="Ike Skywalker, post: 3549981, member: 82381"]Two new Ikequasitions this week. First is an exquisitely toned 1971-S. I call it "Cloudy Day," but "Troubled Skies" may suit it just as well. It comes with a TrueView™ image, and Phil decided to shoot it to produce a <i>bright field</i> appearance. In this case, axial lighting is used in such a way as to produce bright devices against a bright field. I love the result of this approach, although I haven't tried it yet myself. It graded 67 without a cameo designation, no doubt due to the toning obscuring this. We all know the silver proof Ikes have some degree of cameo contrast.</p><p><br /></p><p>I took my own close-up shots to create a composite slab image, but my setup "sees" slight cameo contrast with dark fields. The color is more gray-blue- almost purple in some areas. The coin does look like its TV image in-hand, but only in direct light, and it's hard to look at for more than a second or two, ya know? This is why I prefer TrueView™ images to be be direct light glamour shots- so I can look at the coin this way without going blind.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]943293[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]943294[/ATTACH]</p><p>Composite image with my own obverse/reverse shots.
