My camera work. The green you see is extremely shiny copper. What is the simplest way to eliminate green beside quit taking pictures.

Those are reflections, they are flecks of abnormally shiny metal in the planchet. We all struggle getting the light right so they don't look like dark marks on the surface. If you added a couple of angled shots and messed with the light, you might be able to show them.

The obverse is fantastic, I see halo and cartwheel luster galore. I think the right field "distractions" are not distractions but shiny metal flecks. Reverse strike is weak but slightly above average. The AM area is distracting. I think this coin has a ton of luster and eye appeal in hand.

66RD

That's exactly how the coin looks in hand. I will have to experiment some, but your advice is paying off. I have a problem keeping the camera still enough to take a photo. I will have to change setup to be more comfortable. The only way I was able to get a somewhat clear shot was to have an additional headlight pointed at the coin from an angle. There is a better way I'm sure. I seem to create shadows from my own camera
