    Looks good from here, you have it inhand does it look similar? The obverse appears to be a bit darker than the reverse. I have a 24" monitor, fills it up when enlarged and still maintains clarity. Overall nice image.

    @in2Coins My eyes are tired but It is a nice clear pic. Is the color/hue the same in-hand?

    I like it. Some proofs are tough to image.

    The coin looks similar in hand. Reverse pic is slightly brighter just to show the doubling of “E Pluribus Unum”

    Yes, coin’s color is similar in hand.

    And too bad that if your beautiful 1955 BN Proof Lincoln was ever TrueView photo'd, it will NEVER EVER appear in CoinFacts. Why? Because PCGS does not show BN and RB Proof Lincolns from 1952 through 2011. Those BN and RB color class Proofs completely missing from CoinFacts in those years. And PCGS has continuously refused to add them (I've asked numerous times). That's such a shame.

    Ditto. Now I would like to see a picture JUST LIKE THAT, except your coin becomes a 1955 DDO.

    Do some consider anything less than full RED with proof Lincolns as a type of damage? Net graded, yet damaged just the same.

    I created some tools that will help us amateur take better photos of proofs and toned coins. I’m still trying to get more time with the setup.

    Practice and patience still a must....lighting set-up is critical from what I’ve learned.

    Stay tuned!
