<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Breakdown, post: 849294, member: 19532&quot;]Sorry it took me a little while to get back to this thread.&nbsp; The Type 1 Proof proved very difficult for Todd to image -- he tried three different times and I think the above is the best of the three but I feel none quite captures how I regard the coin in hand.&nbsp; One thing that having my coins imaged has taught me is that some coins just are not photogenic.&nbsp; The Type 1 is one of my personal favorites in my collection but you definitely need to be able to move it about to appreciate the toning fully.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Type 2 is a better strike and a technically excellent coin.&nbsp; It gleams in hand and has very little in the way of marks.&nbsp; But I think 900Fine has a pretty good handle on this -- sometimes you have to picture a coin in hand from an image, if that makes any sense.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks again to all for the comments.:hail:</p><p>Jeff[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
