Very difficult coin to image Robster :dodgy:

The 10c is probably the easiest.

I left them in their capsule.

I know I keep rambling on about these Wedding Set coins But if you took the same coin from each of the mint set, Baby set, Proof set, Silver proof set and the wedding set and placed them side by side the Wedding set coin would stand out as the most technically superior coin out of the lot of them.
The proof set coins are beautifully struck and the fields are smooth and immaculate But the frosting removes a great deal of the fine design from the coin.
The wedding set coins are also immaculately struck and the fields are magnificent and the fine details in the design are perfectly formed on the coin.
These wedding set coins are an absolute credit to the skills and workmanship of the artisans at RAM that created them and in my humble opinion are the finest examples of any coin type produced for Australian Decimal currency . :ok:

Think perhaps the Proof finish is the "Glamour Presentation" :idea:

Great images Fordy :good:
The Proof does look "pretty" but it hides the detail that the Wedding Set coin portrays so well :ok:

I agree with trout , and mainly because the eyes ,
on the proof coin the roos look blind .

I received my coin yesterday Jim, much appreciated, certainly a 'high end product'.
Looking forward to testing my lens capabilities! :ok:
