Hi All,
I posted images of the 4 coins that comprise my little Proof Dime Type set ( http://www.pcgs.com/new_set_registry/display_coins.chtml?regsetid=22866&alltime=no .....could someone please tell me how to make a "proper" link?). Thanks to all for the nice comments about my little set. Anyway, I am not that satisfied with the images - I would like to show the mirrors and colors to advantage. The coins are a lot nicer in person, especially the Seated Proof 10c - a lot of irridescence in the deep purple..green, blue etc.. The most accurate at the moment is the Winged Liberty Proof 10c - those are rather accurate colors. I would like to get the colors on the Barber Proof 10c reverse to show - it is really pretty with watery mirrors. I figure you guys will have some suggestions before I start experimenting (perhaps tilting the slabs a bit with a coin on the flatbed during the scan etc..). I have an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo Scanner, and am used to scanning autographs, photographs and vintage Kodachrome slides. Any and all advice welcome and appreciated!
Best to ALL,
Billy
