Lighting can be deceiving.

Always shooting and experimenting. I found by backing off the lamps,
one can turn a lifeless white proof into a DCAM or one sided CAM like the Jefferson below.
The obverse has no real contrast between device n field. The reverse does have a bit.
The second pic is more accurate when viewing in-hand. No tricks with editing software. Each set of pics is the same
coin. I wonder if this causes confusion with buyers n sellers on the net?
Having a little fun shootin coins after a crazy work day, love it image
Keep on shootin,

This Washie has little to no contrast on the obverse and the reverse is quite Cammy in-hand.
If you back off the lamps, George is transformed into a DCAM, crazy.

Franklin does have some medium contrast on the obverse and the reverse is frosty in-hand.
Again by backing off the lamps, it appears to be a full blown DCAM.
