Ian Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Nicely taken photo Jorg! I've got one of these too but even though its about as nice there is no way my scanner could compete. :-) Alongside my one in its tray is a Brilliant Uncirculated Bermuda `Turtle' 1 dollar silver crown. As I leaned towards it the cartwheel effect created by the surface lustre caught my eye, reminding me why I have a goodly few modern silver crown size coins in Unc AND Proof. They both have their merits, although (to my mind) the proof strike definitely augments the engravers art more than a business strike. Room for both in the world though. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My photographic skills are still hit and miss though hopefully I am learning. This coin was actually quite easy. The fields were drinking in the light. I think the coin wanted, NEEDED to be photographed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
