Here is my best (maybe not best photography). Post em if you got em.

OK, how about this deep blue, almost black proof? (I bet you didn't think I had any of these!

)

Ok Russ. How do you picj up the color so well on your nickels? I was all but standing on my head to get the lights at the right angle to pick up any color. And my nickel has more color than I posted.

Hours and hours and hours of practice and wasted images.

In regards to my nickel, I was looking at the reverse under a loupe and thought I saw something inside the "C" in CENTS. Does anybody see anything here besides me?

Obviously, I am not as well practiced on nickels either, even with the new flexible copy lights. Good thing I only have one toned Jefferson.

Here is mine. Much more lively and colorful in hand. And the one in my sig line, which no one likes

Best,
Billy
