Today's Eyecandy...A Rainbow Toned Masterpiece. Photography From BluCC Photos

WTCG · November 30, 2009 3:33AM

Earlier in this month I had the opportunity to have Todd (blu62vette) photograph a few of my coins. As always he does a great job with his work. Here's a proof Mercury Dime that I take pride in:

Comments are welcome. Also don't hesitate to post your Mercury dimes.

i may not agree with you on some things, but i do agree with your taste in coins

Gorgeous color.. and a great picture!

Eye candy or eye sore?

Just the other day, a poster commented that "eye-appeal" was completely subjective. I think Wei's coin is a good example of a coin that most (though perhaps not all) would agree has loads of "eye-appeal".

Beautiful coin and nice pic.

Justacommeman · November 30, 2009 4:15AM

The most important question....Is it for sale and how much?

Lovely looker and a very nice image of it too. Am I correct in thinking that he imaged that puppy at the SC show? If so, I saw it there and was quite favorably impressed with it.

Bochiman · November 30, 2009 8:06AM

"I'd buy that for a dollar"

WOW, what a merc!

Wei: She's a beautiful Proof Mercury Dime, with a superb photograph.

Quality photography allows us not only to share images of our coins, and have them readily available for viewing & reference while coins may be locked up in a safe deposit box, but also to fully appreciate our coins via enlarged images without the need for either corrected vision or magnification.

RW · December 1, 2009 12:51AM

That is a really great coin.

blu62vette · December 1, 2009 5:36AM

This coin is wonderful. It is a pain to photograph and capture the color but is just a stunning coin.

WTCG · December 2, 2009 7:28AM

<< <i>That's from the Timothy Leary collection.

This coin was found when it was part of a deal that turned up at a small local show about two years ago. It was not part of that collection, nor any other known collection that is known of.

CEOGBOSE · December 2, 2009 7:36AM

Very nice

WTCG · March 9, 2010 3:54PM

A quick bump to show off to a forum member that I don't have an aversion to toned coins.

morgandollar1878 · March 9, 2010 4:38PM

That's a great looking proof Mercury.

Elcontador · March 9, 2010 5:30PM

Wei, in light of the fact that I have seen so few really nice coins for the grade lately, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful PF Merc.

BWRC · March 9, 2010 10:30PM

Stunning coin! great image

crazyhounddog · March 10, 2010 12:13AM

Superb eye appeal

And the image is over the top!!

Wow, Mark, I'm not sure if it's just me, but sometimes I just don't get your attempt at "humor" - that is undeniably a stunningly beautiful piece!
