Just back from our host. I still find it very difficult to capture iridescent color on proof coins.
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.

Your photo's look great (except for the final 1956 pictures) perhaps. The higher the light, the better the color.
Beautiful toning on them puppies.
Very Nice!
So pretty!
Very nice. Almost impossible to capture color from a brilliant Lincoln proof inside the slab.

Stunning 2nd photo on the 1951.
Beautiful coins well photographed.
I am envious of your ability to capture color.
I can't figure it out.
The best way I have found to capture the color on Proof coins is to let Phil do it.
You did a great job thru the lense @UtahCoin !
If you are a Lincoln proof weenie........... check out this set that is a compilation of two sets recently put together.

Bought one of the cast offs for what I thought was a reasonable price.
Not much, but got my 1st pre 1950 proof.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Great looking pieces for sure.
