Looks good, jbuck. Proof Ikes are a nightmare to photograph. The mirrors just blind me. The reflection from my phone is nearly impossible to avoid when trying to get adequate light coverage. That's why you don't see me post very many proofs. I'm not giving up yet, though.

I rested my phone on a container to hold it at the right height. I had all the windows open for sunlight and I held a black covered tray above the phone to get the black reflection on the coin. The light area near the bottom is from the camera lens/flash opening on my OtterBox.

No problem. It was just something that popped into my head.
