I
am not the best photographer using my SONY Mavica with
640X480 resolution, but this should give you more
appreciation of the GEM Quality of these coins even
after 50 years being sealed and stored. NOTE: The individual coin
envelopes the U.S. Mint used in 1954 are not the clear
cellophane type used earlier, but the more opaque,
polyethylene (?) bag they used last; so it effects the
picture view of the coins. Some coin coloration is really
photo reflection, some tint is into the bags absorbed by
chemical reaction with the metal; also why there is often
tone to the coins. What looks like a "dent" in
the obverse of the Franklin is only in the bag. Click on the thumbnail
collage pic below, or the link above and you can see the new 600KB size collage
pic
I added. Then if you wish you could click on the NEW collage
pic
and it should take you to the 3-MB size LARGE picture. Thanks again! Good
LUCK!
