    Here's some of my pictures of this coin, trying to get that chocolate brown color and here is the original flip from Decus, May 1986. under a light bulb, you get a greenish brown, natural light gives you a chocolate brown. I have purchased 6 coin this Month, this is the first.

    Try raising the light so it comes more evenly across the surface.
