<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 1096264, member: 17555&quot;]Pretty amazing, huh... I&#039;ll tell ya&#039;ll what &lt;hickup.. sorry waterin&#039; hole speaking&gt; But,,, I took 75 pictures of this coin with my wifes xmas present from a few years ago, which consisted of $1,500 worth of camera, plus all the accessories (all filters, tripod, lenses, and badazell...)... friggin 75, just of that obverse. I took them under direct lamp lights, under sunlight, and under flash,,,,,,, and the best I could do out of the 75 was the partially out of focus pic that was a marriage of sun light and flash, which is my standard method (that being, taking a coin, putting it on a cracker barrel chair,, placing it by a window, and then incrementially closing the window unitl enough light has been blocked that the flash automatically starts to work).. method works really well for most coins,,, and from what I have seen produces pics of proofs color that I haven&#039;t see on the &#039;bay or from shane to day (coarse&#039; I haven&#039;t seen any proof pics from shane yet.)........... anyway, lehigh say&#039;s &quot;world class&quot;,, and that folks, is a big word.... </p><p>however, as a generally anti&#039;toner premium advocate, and deal scoring only collector, I will say....&lt;gulp&gt;... ol&#039; shane&#039;s pics are as advertised. I got this coin in the mail and really hoped I could slam him and have abit of fun on the forum... but that pic is as close to having the coin i received in hand as is illustratively possible....</p><p>anyway,, don&#039;t want to pump too much air into shanes head.. but yeah, Lehigh does not overstate shane&#039;s pics.. they are friging dialed in. My next purchase from him may be a darker toned &quot;monstor&quot;,,,, just so I can see if those are as representitive as this lightly toned example. Anyway, Shane,,, please keep those ocean view coming,,, I&#039;ll ensure you do o.k. if $115&#039;ish nets you abit of play.,,, which by the way, makes RLM&#039;s, once again, 3rd time in a row... the winner.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Final note to shane,, I don&#039;t know if this space is beyond your liking or not,,, but I feel I can produce very attractive pics of RB cents,,, not like Charmy&#039;s, but very nice and honestly representative pics. You should give the RB cents a spin IMO within your business space given your ability... as you know, nice pics = premium, and from what I have seen in this one sample, you would do very well expanding into the mid range cent rb space, similar space as your dollar toners,,, a level or two below Charmy&#039;s..... </p><p>... same advise for you EYE. </p><p>... and a give for RLM&#039;s.</p><p>.... what I&#039;d really LOVE to see is a contest of the 5 cents !&nbsp; .. between Charmy&#039;s boy, Shane, RLM and EYE, and even Lehigh...... probably take awhile to sent the cents around the table...but man !&nbsp; that would be fun to see as a cent lover. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway,, hope you enjoyed the commentary,, I&#039;ll leave you with two final statments..</p><p>1 - in line with my anti-toner stance... &quot;be careful buying these newbee&#039;s&quot;,, stick with key dates first.</p><p>2 - last words of a good southern boy,,,,,,, &quot;hold my beer and watch this...................&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
