I always love it when I get a coin from an auction and it looks even better in hand. Heritage generally does a pretty decent job of photography and this coin looked pretty good  When I got it, it clearly has mint luster that did not show up in the HA photo. So I started to wonder if I could do better than Heritage...  So, did I? My color is closer to the coin in hand, btw... This was taken with a point source from a high angle in addition to diffuse lighting. Its a trick I've learned when taking photos of darker, but lustrous coins. Edited by Andrew99

beauty. congrats. definitely see luster in your pics. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks for sharing! I agree the HA pics kind of take the life out of it.
