Thanks for the comments! I didn't notice those, but now that's all I can see! I'll revisit this tonight.Nice work, and I really liked the processing walkthrough. My only VERY, VERY minor nit(s) are the small reflections under her nose, on and under lips and at the point of her chin. The one under her nose especially looks like she has a runny nose. A half-second with the clone tool and you'd have this nailed.

Thank you!Nice macro shot and adjustment.
One of my other hobbies is collecting coins, mostly older ones but still a lot of modern ones. On a coin forum we have large discussions about, well, every coin. LOL The Liberties are nice and some in the past have had large premiums after hitting the market.
The medal does not have a valuation stamp on it. This makes it more of a bullion coin.Thank you!Nice macro shot and adjustment.

Nice! This is meant as a keepsake for our daughter. I always enjoyed coin collecting as a kid.
...Actually, on second thought, what I bought is the 1 oz medal, not the coin. What is the difference? I'm assuming the coin can be "spent", whereas the medal is for show?
Thank you for the detailed explanation! Very interesting!The medal does not have a valuation stamp on it. This makes it more of a bullion coin.Thank you!Nice macro shot and adjustment.

The Liberty coin is the gold 1oz version of it which does have a $100 valuation stamp on it.
They both can be spent. Technically you could take the Liberty Coin 1oz Gold to the bank and cash it in for $100 dollars. Technically a grocery store could accept it for $100. With the Silver Medal you would have to go to a type of silver dealer (Local Coin Shop, etc) and convert the medal 1oz silver to spot price of silver to convert it to cash.
The above ignores the numismatic valuation of the coin/medal, which is far more. You would have to go to a local coin shop or numismatic shop to gain more of the true valuation of it. If you could sell it directly to a collector you can then gain more above selling it to a shop who will buy it at wholesale or even spot price valuation.
people will have variations on what they think about the medal vs coin and valuation, etc. too.
It's like if you had a Morgan Silver Dollar.
People have been known to go to the local convenience store and use it as a One Dollar. Silver-wise is worth about $17. Numismatic valuation depends upon the year, mint location and condition and may be worth multiples more.
Now, I took some liberties in editing, so it’s not a completely accurate representation of the coin. Sorry for any coin buffs out there. You’ll see what I mean when you look at the photos.

So you took some liberties with the Liberty, did ya?
Love the final edit (though I do agree with John's comment about the reflections under the nose) and I appreciate the discussion and walk-through of the processing.
Very interesting observation! I'll see if I can find a good balance with the golden tones. I'll look at it again tonight. I can understand and appreciate the vintage/historic aspect.I like the original, the golden tone with the cyan/blue highlights; I think it has more depth or dimension. (edit - Maybe a bit more vintage? or historic? or something.) Either could make for a lovely photo for a girl's room... hmm I'd be thinking mats and frames...
Nice macro shot and adjustment.

Ahh .. Blimpy Burger. Never went there even though I used to be right around the corner in West Quad in my early UofM days. I was a vegetarian then and still am mostly today.Not sure if they still do it since closing down original location and reopening in another (thanks UofM). But Crazy Jim's Blimpy Burger in Ann Arbor would give you $50 cent piece, $1 dollar coins, and $2 bills in your change if it required it. I have had places deny the $2 bill thinking it's fake.

Once, many years ago, a lady came through my register at the grocery store and paid for her groceries in $2 bills. They were padded, so she counted them off, and tore off the top from the remaining pad...and $2 bills in your change if it required it.
