Ch BU walker Picked this up from my local coin shop yesterday,as an upgrade from the AU-50 one i already had. To my eye it looks like a very possible MS-63,paid MS-60 price for it.Also got two more rolls of Kansas quarters from the bank,all in all a good coin day.
Very nice find silver surfer.Gotta love those Walkers! Ever seen one in proof? They're something to behold,I'll see if I can take a decent pic for ya.
It has a bit of gold toning but most of that is from the incandescent lights..I need to get some that show silver in it's true color..any suggestions?
I use that type but my camera takes that light as a pinky light so all of my coins look a light pink.....I have to fix that on the photos then.....I think I should look for a new camera. Speedy
Speedy...check your camera to see if you have a "hue adjustment" or white balance setting that will correct the pinkish tone..sounds like a ++ hue problem to me. Let me know if I can help ya... RickieB
I do have that setting and have changed it but it doesn't change much....it was a cheap camera and I've used it for some time..... Another thing is that it doesn't let you change the hue much so either way it still has a pinky look....oh well....I'll fix that someday Speedy
For color correction under flourscent lighting (which has a green tint) we use a pink filter w/o flash. So one would think that the inverse of green/pink would correct the pink hue..you can shoot through a celophane sheet of light green to attempt to adjust. You can find it at local party stores and/or craft stores cheapo! Try it..ya just might stumble on something.. RickieB Just received my 2002 1 oz AGE 1988 1/2 oz AGE 1993 1/2 oz AGE and 1996 Community Service $1..will post some pics for you soon...
OK guys, I decided to actually read the camera manual,found the section on color balance and incandescent light.As a male,I usually don't read these things but heck,I learned something today gosh darn it.And if that fails,we sell the GE Reveal bulbs where I work. Thanks RickieB,Cave_Troll et al...
Oh boy!...I bet that will work! I'll be sure to try it when I find some green celophane...my Mom says that she saw some just the other day You better post some photos Speedy
Speddy... Keep in mind that you mentioned that the pink hue was very light..so try to find some celophane that is very light green or you will induce a green tint tothe picture...if you have a uv filter that may help as well... Let me know... RickieB
