Yeah, this was my solution to getting TV-like images in a slab.

If you want more luster, mask-off more of the lights. Instead of 1-3 and 9-11, only leave open 1:30-2:30 and 9:30-10:30 and cover the 6:00. Smaller lights bring out more luster.

Thanks for sharing your work in progress steps, rmpsrpms. . .I'm still struggling with proof coin photos. When my frustration levels hits the bell at the top of the scale, I usually return to this CCF sub-forum and check things out.
