Quote from: 'ausjack' pid='67945' dateline='1425287668'The colours are just so hard as they look different with just moving the camera half a millimetre. I love the colours on the above coin and think you did an excellent job capturing them :good:

That proof has mirror surfaces and they are almost impossible to capture in one image.  Perth copper is a lot easier, you just need light.  Lots, and lots, and lots of light.  And when you think you have enough get more.  If your coin isn't too hot to touch after being under the lights for a couple of minutes then you don't have enough light :)

I know this is a good coin but the question is how good ?   MS64 ?

Looks at least a ms65 to me maybe even a ms66 although I am far from an expert. It is a fantastic coin Stevo well done and congratulations!

Regardless of what this finally grades out at it is Most defiantly a "Contender".
I think we will ALL be collectively holding our breath until you get the grade back from PCGS.
