eyecandy :1986 Statue of Liberty commem(big pics!)

First , thanks to Dr. Goodman for taking the time to shoot this coin
Like most toned coins it all depends on how you hold the coin in the light as to what colors come out
I'm was looking for pictures of this coin that would be as close to "in hand" as possible. I think these two images of the obverse/reverse come as close to "being there" as possible

  • greg, the icon photo was the photo Heritage had on file three years ago when I bought this coin from them.
    The coin really plays with the light so depending on how you tilt it you can get lots of heavy or light color play. These latest photos are more true color than Heritage's colorful image. It is a darker coin on first sight much like the first image. When you tilt it you get lighter tones like the second image. You have to look at the coin almost side on to get the orange to come out
    Mark shot a third image that came out very light :
