New Austria Ducat Restrike

I just picked up an Austrian 1915 Ducat Restrike and I had to show it off. It is my first world gold coin. I'll also take any comments on the picture since I'm still trying to figure out the best settings and such for my new Nikon D40.

Comment on image? Not too bad IMO. Gold is a pain in the butt to image for me.

Nice coin Dan. I hope you aren't catching the darkside gold bug too?

Very nice! I've had one of these for a while. Mine's NGC MS67. What's yours grade?

Gold is GOOD

Try shooting the coin in Natural light, Indirect at about 10 in the morning.

It is in a PCGS MS66 holder.

I can't really afford to catch that bug right now, but I would like to if I could.

Dan,

Great piece! I am certain that you will find much more satisfaction in that gold piece than you might experience supporting the local NFL team (I am assuming that you have a Cincinnati Bengals avatar).

Thanks for reminding me... Is there anything other than a frustrated Cincinnati fan (Bengals or otherwise)?

People actually slab those?

Now I've seen everything.
