Anybody who has ever tried to capture the iridescence of toned proof coin can relate.

    Yes I can (relate to the difficulty of capturing toned copper proofs) and, no I can't (do a good job of it as you did.)

    Excellent photographs... A difficult task to get that type of tarnish in a picture.... Cheers, RickO
