Nice photos Morris. You did a great job of capturing the luster. I saw you from afar at the Long Beach Luncheon, but I never got a chance to introduce myself. mdwoods

what are you using for the lighting?

I bought one of those eco-light optical lights, with the two octapus looking arms with the light on the end. After I had already ordered one, I asked TBT about it, and he said that he didn't recommend it, and I see why. So far, with toned coin, it makes the coin look better, really makes it look like a real metal three dimensional item, but seems to wash out the color a little. SO for toning, I haven't found it works that well, but I just got it. As far as copper and silver coinage, straight up brilliant untoned, I think it works great, but it is around $400. But so far, and that is a big so far, cause that was just my first point and click with no playing around, I think it works great. Long term, it should pay for itself in $$$ and time.

One step closer to appeasing my anal mind. I'll try and keep all updated.
