    It's a busy design, I like it, but there is a lot going on there.
  • Bill,

    You take nearly-perfect pictures. YOU SUCK!!!!! image What kind of camera do you use?

    That is a nice coin, but I agree the design is too busy.

  • That is a very nice coin - I don't see any problems on it at all. Sure hope mine is that nice when it arrives. What would something like that grade? MS67? This is the toughest for me to grade .... the really nice coins with no apparent problems by naked eye. Anything with the loupe???

    I agree it is a bit 'busy' - especially the back! Way too many stars

    It is a proof using. I use a piece of white paper in front of the light. It diffuses the light as well as provides a solid color for the mirrored surfaces of the coin to reflect.

    Image through glass. A piece of glass at about 45 degrees is placed between the coin and camera and the light is positioned to the side and low and then reflects off of the glass down onto the coin.
