Three new coins w/Ott-light.

Nothing special, but the Broadstrike is sort of neat. The Buffalo might look AT to some although I've had others with similar tone. The 1954 Franklin is from a set I picked up from The Reeded Edge a while ago and it doesn't look as hazed in-hand, just shows nice rim tone.

    The Buffalo is indeed suspect. The obverse seems okay, but not the reverse.

    Nice looking coins! I have some OTT lights but quite using them because I would get a green hue with my images, even blast white coins would have this greenish hue and I think I see this color on your Jefferson nickel...
    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Good photographs, and that Buffalo is indeed suspect. Cheers, RickO

    i've tried using Ott-Lights before and had similar difficulty, not as prevelant this time but still there a little. i really think i need to use two lights but i had to physically hold the fixture about 2-3 feet above the coin/camera and needed the other hand to snap the shutter!! i'm in the progress of setting up a space in my basement which should make it easy for me to replicate the lighting; as it is now i have to either shoot pictures early in the day or wait till the sun sets.image
