Yes.... yes it did. What a wonderful coin with an image that captures a coin that illustrates why we collect. Further, this takes it to the next level...art and commerce together at its historic best

He did pull out more color but you are getting there

Stuart · October 17, 2014 11:57AM

Stefanie, Phil's images of your new Trade Dollar are superb. Congrats on acquiring a pretty Trade Dollar!

I find it interesting and quite coincidental that you and I both recently purchased Colorfully Toned AU 1876-S Trade Dollars!

1876-S Trade Dollar - Blue & Brown Dual-Sided Toner - (Type 1 Obverse & Reverse)

<< <i>You do understand that Phil's shot is not reality, it is a glamour shot and the likelihood of getting it to look like that in hand will take approx. 15 minutes of turning the coin through a multitude of girations until all comes together the light, the angle, and the moment at which for one brief second it looks like Phi"ls shot and then you lose it . Your shot was the accurate one, and by no way am I demeaning the coin's appearance, it is a nice one, but Phil's glamour shot is the exception. >>

I respect your opinion Realone.

Please forgive Phil for having the skills to light a coin so as to best show off the toning. The problem with what you say (besides being overly dramatic) is that you're comparing it to your own experience of tilting a coin, in a holder, likely under a single source of lighting or multiple points of lighting too far overhead to really make the coin "sing". It's not like Phil pulls out the paintbrush tool and adds colors that aren't there. I think it's well understood that a Trueview shows a coin with lighting aimed to show off color and/or luster. I personally prefer the look, others may not, but you can't say one is "right" or "better" than the other.

MsMorrisine · October 17, 2014 2:35PM

Yes, CAF and others (me) are in the dark on the lighting trick.

Get that and you're shooting your own TVs

remumc · October 17, 2014 2:54PM

Beautiful trade dollar Stephanie. I've seen very few that I really liked, but I like yours! Phil did a wonderful job. I hope someday to have him photograph some coins for me.

morgansforever · October 17, 2014 9:04PM

Nice TD Stef. Are you going to attempt to shoot it yourself? You have an excellent image to compare n contrast, give it a shot.

That makes one of us

Great picture of a beautiful coin.

ms70 · October 17, 2014 11:55PM

Wow, that one must've been the first one off the press. Nice.

kaz · October 18, 2014 12:03AM

If TrueViews are taken before slabbing, then the lighting is very close to axial to show of the colors in every nook and cranny. I love the level of detail that Phil is able to attain in his images as well.
