Are you tired of Sylvania bulb threads yet? Here's my 1st images with them.

I bought this coin months ago from K6AZ. I have never been able to get a decent picture of it. It's one of the few slabbed coins I own, so I only pull it out every now and then to try to get an image of it, get frustrated and put it back. I've got some glare on the holder, still need to play some more and I only have two lamps, but I think I'm going to like this bulb:

If you would like to see the huge difference the bulb made on toned copper sneak a peek over on the
Darkside

    Hey! I remember that coin, it was the BST auction thread that I forgot to ttt! image

    These lights do bring out color well. Looks like with a little better placement you should get it perfect.

    Nice images, Becky. And I've seen a few darkside toned beauties lately, one of which I must have. I have to travel some to get to a Lowe's, but I'm going this week. Eric's gonna get everyone using these.

    Very nice photos Becky. We don't have a Lowe's nearby. What about the GE Halogen Flood? Anybody tried them?

    Very nicely done. I can never get a toned coin to look just the same as it does to the eye.

    Looks good - if you can adjust the lights to avoid the glare, you'll be there - nice coin. Thanks for sharing it.
