the whole better than the sum of its parts

just looking how evenly matched my 3 PCGS MS64RBs and 3 PCGS MS64 nickels are, I decided on a identically lighted and sized composite pick of them. Just wanted to share. The individual pics are much better. I particularly like the matched satiny look of the nickels, although the individual pics below in my type set look better!

    Those six coins not only belong together, but they also belong in my collection. image Great coins and thanks for sharing....Mike

    p.s. the large cent and two cent piece are my favs.

    Good stuff - nice idea, too - I always like to look at other collector's photography & the coins too!image
    Don't you know that it's worth
    every treasure on Earth
    to be young at heart?
    And as rich as you are,
    it's much better by far,
    to be young at heart!

    I agree with your characterization - the coins together look terrific.

    That's the way you do it Eugene. I am obviously familiar with some of those but you did a superb job on your own of using patience and discretion to find others which matched in terms of originality and eye appeal. A lovely display to be sure.

    Very well matched coins. I like the Liberty nickel the best.

    the question beckons. why does the lg cent look more orange than the color-paired 1c/2c? Is it that the pure copper has this color as compared to the bronze pieces which contain tin and zinc?

    I like them - nice little set!

    I hope you don't mind my messing with your photo, but I figured since you're not
    showing labels anyway, might as well get rid of the plastic. image

    What do you think, Mr. Bigglesworth?
