Decided to take a chance on this 5 Mark Eagle off of E-Bay. Not only is the toning wunderbar but it also has mirror surfaces under the toning making it a proof!!
Now I will have to start collecting the entire series from 1951!
I can't seem to capture the neon colors to this coin. It looks like some of those lightside neon Morgan Dollars they show over there from time to time. Any ideas what settings should be used to capture neon???

    Beautiful coin, Claus. I can almost see the mirror surfaces; it must look great in person. I also like the simple design.

    Who needs colorized coins when nature colors her own, and does a much better job at it. Outstanding!image

    Looks nice Claus. Reducing the light intensity keeps the colors from being washed out. The camera "sees" the coin's colors better image
