Shout Out to Todd Pollock (BluCC)

I recently bought an 1879-S Morgan from a local seller, as discussed here: forums.collectors.com/discussion/1024241/1879-s-morgan-thoughts#latest

@cameonut2011 rightly pointed out that the glamour shots were the work of Todd Pollock. Because the seller did not have the hi-res version of those photos, I contacted Todd who quickly found the seven-year-old pics and sent them my way. A grateful shout out to Todd!

(Edited to correct “BluCC”)

    Very good! Is the coin closer to Todd's pics or the darker ones?

    Todd’s done some very nice work for me over the years, also, along with a few favors thrown in.
    I second the shout out!

    Getting some of my coins photographed by Todd is on the short list of things to do. His work is awesome.

    Have never been disappointed by Todd's pics!

    As I removed the coin from its padded package, the first thing I saw was darkness and my initial feeling was disappointment. But, as I tilted the coin in the light, it simply came alive. More lustre than expected and truly amazing colouration. If anything, it's nicer than i imagined it would be. (In short, closer to Todd's pics.)
