    This is the best ATB yet and I don't say that because I live there. Maybe there is another ATB coin or two that approaches this for artistry. This is a bullion version, I cancelled out of the UC version as the US Mint raised prices as silver was dropping.

    I introduced the color to the shot using lighting. Look at that engraving, that is the best, rivaling the best ever out of the Perth Mint! IHMO f course.

    Agreed, very beautiful coin. The cormorant being so close and the trees so far gives the coin an enormous depth of field. I love the detail in the feathers too.
