thanks i sat on this one for over a year sometimes makes me wonder what i am doing

 

Nice coin again Spock.
Here, I gave it an acetone dip.

 

Nice........

 

What do you want to do to the pics exactly?

 

Thanks

 

well the original is too dark i was wondering if there was a fix to make it look natural

 

Edited Pics!

Spock,

Here are both of the pictures edited as best I could get them! That is a nice coin you purchased! Congrats! Your purchased coin is darker but appears in much better condition than the (I assume) example below.

Thanks Frank. I was wondering if we could keep the color from the original picture somehow?

 

I hear a quick "dip" will brighten that coin right up!

But seriously, there's only so much you can do to enhance a really dark picture... in most cases the detail just isn't there. Your best bet is to retake the pictures and try some different camera settings and/or add some additional light sources.

EDIT: I picked up a semi-professional lighting kit off the Bay fairly cheap (Between $50 and $75 if I recall correctly). It came with three lightstands, two diffuser umbrellas, and three bulbs. It works great!

 

maybe u can try that on the photo

 

i believe that's a nice VF coin.

 

Not sure what yu want to do exactly Spock but here is a quick going over the top one

 

thanks

why does it look like my bottom one?

 

I was actually thinking that when I fixed it. Is the lower one a coin in your hand?

Ruben

 

Because it is your bottom one.......

 

well the top coin and bottom coin are the same coin the top one is the natual image and the bottom one is the fixed image
