There is no Sun here today so I had to use 1 of my Kia lights, which usually was a bust! This time I put the light overhead with not 1 but 2 thick white socks over light and with proper adjustment on my Dyno-Lite I got this pic, which is EXACTLY what the coin looks like in hand. ![]()

Very well done
Consider having the label smaller so as to not distract from nice coin.
Socks? Hmmmm. Great picture btw.

A nice one.
Luster bomb!
The question is what kind of socks?

The thick cotton socks like you wear to play Basketball.
