<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 470852, member: 15309"]I would like to know which style of proof coin photography that most collectors prefer. The first method is to blast the coin with light and get an up close photo of the surfaces. This method shows colors very well but seems to mask hairlines and imperfections due to overexposure (see 1st photo). The second method is a more traditional method that shows the contrast between the fields and devices. This method basically hides the colors of the toning on the coin but gives you a better look at the surfaces and overall appearance of the coin (see second photo).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Kennedy%20Half%20Dollars/KennedyHalfDollar1992-SNGCPF69ULTRA.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Kennedy%20Half%20Dollars/KennedyHalfDollar1992-SNGCPF69UL-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please give your opinions for the method you prefer.
