Reimaged a couple of old favorites...

Still struggling with proofs. image These two didn't turn out too badly as one is a DCAM
and the other a UCAM, but I find that if there's any haze at all or lesser cameo
contrast, I simply cannot get decent shots. I've got a couple other coins that are
similar in hand, but try as I might, I cannot get decent pics that don't look baggy
and hazy to hell and back. ARGH!

    Very awesome pictures and coins, CP. I am not used to dealing with proofs, but is it recommended to give those a quick dip to remove the haze?

    I might if they weren't all slabbed already. image

    SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! The Weimar 3 mark is a definite show stopper in my opinion... And the Saxon Drei mark is an easy equal to mine, a very beautiful coin to say the least!

    CP:

    Is the Saxony a NGC PR64UC? I think I slabbed it and don't remember haze.

    The Saxony is a PCGS 64DCAM. The Lubeck is an NGC 66UCAM.

    The ones I meant with haze are a 1929A Constitution 3M in NGC 63CAM and a Prussia 1913 Napoleon 2M in PCGS 64CAM. I didn't like the results I got, so I didn't post the pics. image
