TDColl Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 04/22/2010 11:13 pm Saw this darkly toned one on Teletrade... had to have her! ANACS small white holder, graded VF-30. O-115. Middle photo tilted slightly to show some of the gold highlights and dark steely blue toning. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/23/2010 1:21 pm That is what a Bustie should like, TDColl. Are you familiar with axial lighting for coin photography? Report this Post to the Staff

TDColl Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 04/23/2010 4:19 pm Thanks for the comments, my friends! Joey, I like your CBH too. The shape of the number "2" in the date fascinates me on these coins, looks like it was designed by Tim Burton, if he did logotypes! As to axial lighting: I am just starting to do that, actually assembled a crude setup last week but obviously haven't put it to use yet-- any suggestions as to the best light source?

TDColl Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 04/23/2010 10:30 pm Worked on fine tuning the axial setup.. here are a couple of pix. Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 04/25/2010 7:23 pm is that TONING? Report this Post to the Staff
wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 04/25/2010 8:15 pm It's known as a patina or crust. Not exactly toning. Gorgeous Bust Half, TDColl! Very nice crusty original look with tons of eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
TDColl Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 04/25/2010 9:50 pm thanks for the comments, folks. I think the last shots got the color a little better, but these dark ones really need to be seen in hand so you can tilt them around under the light. I just bought a short date run of these on Heritage- 1833-36, all VF, and try as Imight I can't capture the iridescence of the 1836, even with axial lighting. Some things just have to be experienced in person, I guess. Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 04/27/2010 08:03 am It appears to me that your 1824 is an overdate (1824 over 1). (Overton 101 variety) Anyone else agree? Edited by Moe145 04/27/2010 08:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
Halfwitty Pillar of the Community United States 1523 Posts	Posted 04/27/2010 10:29 am I don't believe it is Moe.The space between the 2 and 4 seems to be too wide but I may be wrong.I'm not an expert on these babies. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/27/2010 1:05 pm If you mean TD's coin no it is not the 4/1, the 2 and 4 are way too far apart. Report this Post to the Staff
