  Great snags - the '69 fits my definition of "caked" frost.

  It does indeed. I'd kill for a 1970 with that frost.

  Russ, the 69's dies were still touched up by hand using q-tips and acid. Looks like that might be a great pup for that die. I'll bet he has 50-100 brothers. Danged frosty coin, and I'm liking the new camera.

  Very Nice Coins! Boy, that new camera shows every little detail. I wonder what that 69 would look like with your Ricoh, whether or not those tiny little frost break lines (assuming that is what they are) would be visible.

  That is, indeed, what they are. And, they would not show nearly as well with the Ricoh. The Nikon does capture detail much better, and produces crisper images.

  Refrigerate 'em so the frost doesn't melt!

  I saw one along these lines a few weeks ago ... the happiness quickly fadded when I saw the big unremovable without destroying the coin, spot
