<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1810523, member: 15309&quot;]It looks pretty good but I think you still need more light on the surfaces of the coin.&nbsp; Any thoughts to using 2 direct lights and 1 diffused?&nbsp;&nbsp; The obverse at 3 o&#039;clock where the diffused light source was placed shows a bright pale chartreuse color.&nbsp; Is that accurate or is it the result of the lighting.&nbsp; I only ask because that color is not evident anywhere else on the coin.&nbsp; The remainder of the coin seems to show a bright lustrous lavender patina with orange-gold highlights.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I like to do is write a description of the coin after looking at the coin in hand.&nbsp; Then I take a photo and see if the description that I wrote accurately describes the photo.&nbsp; If it varies greatly, I keep shooting.&nbsp; In my experience, Buffalo Nickels are one of the most difficult series to get the colors to show.&nbsp; Jefferson Nickels are far easier to photograph.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the luster, the photographs are dripping with luster.&nbsp; At a certain level (premium gem), true booming luster can only be appreciated by seeing the coin in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
