Was just looking around on the BST a week ago Sunday when I spotted a Liberty Nickel for sale from one of our resident picture pro's ... mgoodm3
He said he had a hard time photographing it, and used the less colorful picture for his BST post. I had already comitted the purchase to him, and he sent me the second set of pictures which showed more color. Needless to say it was a week of anticipation, and when I missed the mailman on Saturday, I got to wait two more days.
But today I made it to the PO, and I am a happy man
Sometimes Nickel can be very complex in the way it shows it's color.
Straight on the coin is an attractive original golden green ...
But put a little angle on it and the color jumps up ...
... and, do I wish I could show you all how the colors looked in the beautiful winter sunlight today!! Vibrant rose, pink and blues in there as well!!!
Mark will have to chime in hear and tell me if I did right by the photo's ...
and I do want to say thanks to him here as well! What a great coin!!
