[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 1767241, member: 20480"]Very curious background. Evidently, the coin is balanced on a polished metal cylinder . . . either stainless steel, as previously mentioned, or aluminum. Judging from the shadows, I find it curious that the lighting angles are also very different in both photos, as if to deliberately produce glare in particular areas, or to draw attention away from specific flaws in the surface of the coin. Sorry for the cynical tone, but I've bought too many coins that were not well-represented by the listed photos.[/QUOTE]
