[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1107809, member: 15309"]Instructor Alex, Have you ever seen a coin that was in a fire? Because they don't look like this at all. I appreciate that you don't like the eye appeal of the coin, but comparing it to something that has survived a fire is a little dramatic IMO. I have re-imaged this coin using diffused lighting so that everyone can see that actual colors of the peripheral toning. These colors are very apparent in hand but appear almost black when imaged using direct lighting. Diffused Lighting [img]http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Franklin%20Half%20Dollars/FHD1958NGCPF66Diffused.jpg[/img] Direct Lighting [img]http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Franklin%20Half%20Dollars/FHD1958NGCPF66.jpg[/img] I have a sneaky suspicion that many of those who dislike this coin would change their mind once seeing it in hand.[/QUOTE]
