The first looks over exposed. The second looks right but clearly some color is getting missed. Maybe there is an in-between? Tough one!

Keyman,You hit the nail on the head,its a beast in hand,but the pics will not do the eye appeal justice.

I only see one picture. Colorful brown proof copper is nasty to image. You need at least two pictures to give someone an idea of what the coin actually looks like. I'm guessing it looks like a "beast" when tilted one way and looks like a brown copper tilted another. The picture I see looks like a likely compromise between the "if you tilt it just right" view and the "brown" view.

John,The second pic is next to the first,and you will get a better idea that you are right on the money.Actuallly,look at Pinnacles picture,and that gives an idea of the in hand look best,when tilted.

Nice, but tell me how this is not an MS70 dipping result (or otherwise?)...

it seams that on proof copper this color is ok.

Ha just scrolled over and saw the second pic... I like the full brown better!

OK, I just did the same. Silly scroll bar hiding on me. Seeing the full brown helps a lot. I would think of it as the "main" picture in this case and the colored ones as "supplemental." The Pinnacle picture, while brightly colored, would have me thinking it was AT'ed by Blue Man Group. I like the look of the field/device contrast better than I like the look of the colors.

not really trouble IMO

it's just that the coin looks very different depending on how the light hits it (my guess)

does it?

so multiple pics are necessary to represent the coin accurately

Todd did a great job as always. I really like the look of this piece and both images.... I just looked at the pinnacle images, is it really that blue? I've bought a few coins from this outfit and they're 1st class all the way!!

Great folks and I'll buy off them at a show, but have completely stopped looking at their site.

To me their descriptions are worth more then their images as when the coins arrive based on the pics it's almost like a bad blind date.

Colorful proof copper is the toughest to image out of any type of coin. I have never seen the coin so I cant comment on the image however it appears that the coin does have something growing on it that resembles verdigris.
