Recently acquired this 1937Mercury dime CACG PR 67.5

I loved the violet toning.

And this one too, a PCGS PR68 with great color........

The GreatPhoto is much more colorful than the TrueView........perhaps because it was taken by PCGS great ex-photographer.

I’m not going to lie. Brilliant proofs of this era through the early 60s are my least favorite coins to photograph. Especially the cents. The slabs make it more difficult, too.

But the two toners above turned out pretty well regardless.

I thank Phil Arnold for his comments. I think is enlightening for us on this forum to be able to compare his Great Photo with the TrueView pnoto:

Great Photo, photo which was taken through the slab........

Please comment on which you prefer.

PR67+ CAC with beautiful originality and iridescence, which becomes my highest graded WLH and will serve as my type example.

A few years ago I owned the complete 36 - 42 proofs in Rattler holders. I sure do miss that group of coins.

My favorite of those were the Walkers. These are the Mark Goodman pics of them.

I was an underbidder on this coin

@ndeagles, that is one great set you’re putting together. I hope the one I’m working on will end up looking half as good.
