[QUOTE="krispy, post: 802283, member: 19065"]I can also attest to that on the 74-S. I bought several from Apmex during their summer close-out sale in the OGP (brown boxes, no box, just the Mint slab) 40% silver Proof 1974-S. The images are quick snaps under diffuse daylight with reflections so try if you will to look through all the technical badness on these, but this is the one coin of the batch I bought and kept for myself. Despite the pics, it has reflective Proof surfaces, a pale blue target haze and color around the portrait on the obverse. The reverse is pretty much evenly frosty blue across all fields and devices. The earth is pretty well defined in strike as well. I threw in a microscope shot of the mintmark, it looked sort of like one you posted earlier in the thread.
