Message:: [QUOTE="Sam Stone, post: 4397321, member: 110020"]Thank you for the good wishes. I explained myself poorly about the pics. Since I couldn't get the lighting upstairs the photos I took are sub par so I took a lot of them hoping I could post more than usual and hopefully one or two would be something that showed what you was looking for. I just discovered some of them disappeared, but I think I know where they went. I'm going to see about compressing them while retaining resolution. If I can get that done I'll post whichever ones may help. The example I'm including cropped poorly, but I was wanting to show what I can only describe as "texture." This cent was done with Wright's metal polish and it came out much better than anything I did with the Brasso. There was already some blemishes on the coin, but I am personally OK with the quality. I took my time with this one and I only wish I could capture the brilliance of tone. I've never held a coin in my hands that was this bright in color. I would describe the luster of this picture as maybe a 5, but to the naked eye it's closer to 15 (out of 10). I'll try to get better stuph if my wife ever let's me out of prison.
