CuprousCoin Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 02/24/2009 8:19 pm Here are a few more of my recently upgraded IHC's. Although I've had to part with several coins from my type set (mostly duplicates so far), I have been able to use 100% of those proceeds to go towards IHC varieties and upgrades. My greatest limitation at this point is correctly capturing the actual color & tone of these coins. For example the 1903 reverse shown below is actually iridescent purple and blue, although is shows up as almost black. Pics through TPG plastic also presents its own problem. I've made some significant improvements lately and look forward to sharing "Upgrade Part3" Report this Post to the Staff

CuprousCoin Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 02/25/2009 12:19 pm Great article, Thanks SuperDave. I will definitely give that a try. It sure will be nice if I can get the true colors to show ! I have to admit that I too like the 1903, not just because of the awesome toning, but the proof like surfaces also.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/25/2009 4:44 pm I am deliberately avoiding IHC's - if I ever allow myself to get started on them, my budget will be well and truly blown for all time to come. I really, really like the design, and I think they're among the most beautiful of coins in MS-RB condition. Report this Post to the Staff
