<p>[QUOTE="Pawstruck, post: 6226952, member: 76215"]Thanks so much for this assessment [USER=68]@cladking[/USER] ...I love the clad coins too. I wish I could master this whole light thing when it comes to photography--kind of frustrating to capture the beauty of these coins. The most striking thing about this set is the lack of nicks and dings and the bright fields--it looks handpicked.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse of the 1C (in the close-up I posted) is almost flawless (minus the carbon spots) and the 10C actually looks pretty close to flawless. I have a digital microscope and traced the full bands to the ends of the torch, so they are there. You have to look to find the chatter on the quarter and it's fairly minimal. I am hoping to get some better pics posted soon...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
