A lovely example, Stef. Nice photos. : )
Has this token been to NCS or would you say it's entirely original?
Its fields appear ever so slightly granular, but perhaps it's the photos. I can't tell.

Just my opinion based on these excellent mages, I wonder about the fields.
They appear to be the same photos as above.
If the top photos were different, and yours, you are now as good as Mark. ; )

Nice stuff, Stef. : )
If it wasn't in a slab, I'd use axial lighting on that puppy. ; )
With silver proofs, using axial lighting, a photographer has the option of turning the fields black or white,
by tilting the glass a few degrees, with interesting effect.

Thanks, but all I use is a Canon point and shoot camera. I just place the coin on a background, with lights above I hold the camera in my hands......point......and shoot That's as technical as I get If it requires anymore than that I ship it out to Goodman
