I can't find anything about them on the net, and my mates have never heard of them either. Here is an example from this forum... I'd really like to get ahold of one. Report this Post to the Staff

spd_dmn New Member Australia 35 Posts	Posted 05/20/2006 04:43 am ? I don't understand... I get the coin is infact gold. But the 'black' is the reflective surface, here I am confused. Why does it look black? Why aren't the roos and edge black aswell? If it is reflection, shouldn't it be brighter gold rather than shadow? Report this Post to the Staff
lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 05/20/2006 05:42 am It all depends on how the shot is framed and how the lighting is set up for the shot, more often than not highly reflective surfaces appear black...have a look at this Kruggerand where I have set the lighting to capture both "the black surface" as well as the normal surface...I find that by doing it this way, it gives the coin a better contrast...
