I got this at the B&M the other day- it's a strongly contrasted 1953 quarter, with frosty devices and deep, watery mirrors. I'm still learning to shoot proofs, but I think I got it pretty close to what one of the DCAM trueviews on CoinFacts looks like:

    Very nice - I'd buy those all day, if you can find them.

    Nice coin and the cameo shows well but the fields are so dark that if there were a hairline or spot it would never be visible. Just a lighting issue IMO.

    If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

    I think you got it figured out. Very hard to take proof picture.

    I think a little more light would help. Indirect lighting works well for cameos.

    Looks nice! Diffuse the light a little more. You want to reduce the contrast on these to get better detail of the fields (if that makes any sense) and things that are now in the shadows without blowing out the highlights.

    Thanks, John. I do have the ability to diffuse the light more, and will give it a try!
