LOVE the GOLD Darth...I've had a few over the years..impossible for me to shoot correct colors..YOU did GREAT. I hear the gold is from canvas bag toning...many I had were partials, crescent-shaped toning, from overlapping coins that sat on one another. TANGENT here....what is the status of NIGHTCRAWLERS? I still look for em..haven't had 1 in 2 years.

Excellent proof photos, ngs428! Those are very hard to photograph, and you captured the frosty devices perfectly. The deep cameo on these really pops!  Quote: TANGENT here....what is the status of NIGHTCRAWLERS? I still look for em..haven't had 1 in 2 years. Currently, the Ike Group has 13 listed under their newly revised DIVA system. The two that I have are not included because they have red DIVA stickers from when they were recognized under the old system. So, the total confirmed is 15, but Andy Oskam believes the total is probably more like 50. Either way, it's scarce. Quote: LOVE the GOLD Darth... Quote: Couldn't agree more.

Amazing gold Darth - and I generally don't like toning.

Quote: Well, if you don't like 1976 Type 1 Ikes, then hit the BACK button now. You have been warned....... Two BU rolls from US Mint sets. I photographed the first coin (extreme GOLD toning) a while ago and shared it here before. I did a marathon shoot recently, which was fun. It didn't take as long as I thought it would either. Just a matter of switching out each coin. Quote: Thanks, guys. Here it is in a larger format: Fantastic!

 When you told me you got an upgrade I was wondering how that was possible give then other one is so stellar.  By the way, I am this close to taking the other one off your hands.
