I like it a lot. Since it's in a rattler, if it was dipped,
it was done in the late '80s, and must have been
rinsed very well not to have turned ugly since then.

Interesting.
The other day I purchased a Lincoln cent that I inspected at a B&M under an Ott at 5X.
Got it home and put it under my desk lamp and what do you know I saw carbon spots I couldn't observe with the Ott light.
BTW, I like your newp SUMORADA. I can't grade SLQs. How much?

Nope totally washes out the coins... and you need to re-compensate by bumping the saturation levels up in photoshop to get back to how the coin looks in hand.

Mark Goodman's book does a good job of explaining the strengths/weaknesses of each lighting choice

I would respectfully suggest that an OTT light will not wash out colors -- provided you properly set your white balance at the time of the capture....Mike
