  It is indeed a nice dime Jon... strange discoloration though, speaking of the dark brown on the reverse...Cheers, RickO

  I'm not a photographer but I like to pretend to be one on the internet. My best recommendation would be find a way to reflect that light and let the coin do the work not the bulb. I just wear a bright white shirt and stand close to them. I've used white card stock and matte/glossy cards with different finishes for reflecting the light. Photo paper and printer paper or inserts from mint sets are fantastic for this.

  Sometimes you just need that little touch to light it up. It's really helpful for picking up certain coins. I've photographed some silver like this that benefitted from blockers (black cards, black foam, black velvet), too.

  The color is gorgeous. The discoloration on the bottom of the reverse is tied together and muted by all the appealing qualities. It even sorta frames the mintmark. I really like that the "heaviest" of the color is at the bottom and it opens up into a lighter, brighter beautiful pastel "sky". How neat.

  All in all, I really like it, and I'm happy you're happy.

  Thanks.....my goal is to get the pic to look as close as it can to the coin in hand. This is a pretty coin.
