Pic of a toned proof IHC

Here is a recent purchase from the Palm Beach show. I got tired of trying to photo these things through the slab so I cracked it. What a difference. Now I just need a copystand to keep the camera more steady. How do you like?

    I love well toned IHC proofs. I need one for my type set. Yours has the look I like.

    Cracking out proofs has got to be a bit nerve-wracking.image

    John,

    I bought it as a 64 RB. But the mirrors are virtually blemish free and it has no spots. It will be resubmitted after I take a few more picsimage

    Those fields really glow as if there is a light on inside the coin, while the devices seem to have a toned cameo contrast.image I love that coin!!image
