And this one too, a PCGS PR68 with great color........

The GreatPhoto is much more colorful than the TrueView........perhaps because it was taken by PCGS great ex-photographer.

I’m not going to lie. Brilliant proofs of this era through the early 60s are my least favorite coins to photograph. Especially the cents. The slabs make it more difficult, too.
But the two toners above turned out pretty well regardless.

I thank Phil Arnold for his comments. I think is enlightening for us on this forum to be able to compare his Great Photo with the TrueView pnoto:

Great Photo, photo which was taken through the slab........

Please comment on which you prefer.

PR67+ CAC with beautiful originality and iridescence, which becomes my highest graded WLH and will serve as my type example.

I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

A few years ago I owned the complete 36 - 42 proofs in Rattler holders. I sure do miss that group of coins.
My favorite of those were the Walkers. These are the Mark Goodman pics of them.

NEWP: PR67 with CAC. This is one of those coins that just spoke to me when I first saw it. And the pics are pretty much a perfect representation of how the coin looks in hand. I keep pulling it out to look at it, and I just like it more and more.

That's what I'm searching for now. It won't be a proof but something that has the look. Your coin definetly has a nice clean look!
