Haven't shot a coin in months, lets see your attempts. One shot of the obverse and one of the reverse, just went with it. SS 1/160, F8, ISO 100, a dash of contrast, saturation and a bit of sharpening. Can't wait for the gold WLH.

    I'm not one for collecting these modern gold 'coin' pieces as I prefer ounce bars, but that 1/4 ouncer gold SLQ is one I'd love to have a stack of.

    Stunning!!

    also..... fantastic photographic work.

    What's that little anomaly on the left of the shield about 7:00? Part of the design or die chip?

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Hey, how many toes on Ms. Liberty's extended Right leg? Looks like SEVEN to me!
    I see that under "pieplate" magnification that she has a nipple! No areola for us medical types...

    Well, just Love coins, period.

    Will they designate a WF variety for the 7 toe, webbed foot? Or a 3 toe webbed foot?

    Nice picture!



    I'm not into modern gold but am buying a few of these. Looking forward to the 50c as well! image

    Hello Morgansfever,
    I had a question in regards to your Gold SLQ. When looking closely I see what appears to be a line just inside of Liberty's right breast that runs vertical. At first I thought it was raised relief. I have a similar coin and when looking closer at mine with a 5x it appeared to be a die crack. But with a closer look at 200x with a Dinoscope it appears to be a stress crack( if there is such a thing, such as when you bend aluminum) or a scratch of some sort. I wish I had a picture to post of it for you to see. I'm having difficulties getting the picture to a jpg. Have you taken a closer look at your obverse? I'm interested in knowing if yours has the same mark and if there are others. Thank you.
