Finally was at the house at the same time as the fedex guy. Got this from our friends at Pinnacle. Very pretty coin in person. The harsh lighting shows the CAM but really brings out the flaws that you don't see much in real life. The mirrors are great and it has a nice peach toning. I'll post mirror pics sometime later, that's where it really looks good. It's in a PR64CAM holder.

Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.

Flaws or no flaws I like it. I think a 1879 Proof Set is where I'm heading next. There is just something about Seated Liberty Proof coins that you gotta love. Very nice.

This is what I mean. Using the coin like a mirror looking into the light. Taking a picture of the flash when see when looking at them normally. The lighting for the other is just lighting from three sides at a high angle to the coin from small halogen desk lamps.
