[QUOTE="Kurisu, post: 8248602, member: 117063"]Using a solid color (not a black or dark color) behind the coin will help your camera balance the colors more properly. It looks like you are lighting it with a regular light bulb which will almost always make your camera go towards a warm yellow exposure. Lighting it from a natural light (window) would help with the color balance quite a bit. Lastly, shoot from a few inches farther back and then crop your image. It looks like you're shooting just a bit to close for a nice sharp focus with whatever type of camera you're using. Actually...lastly... no, not at all worth getting graded. From what I can try to make out from your pics is that it's more like Red/Brown, may have been polished at one point, and is somewhere in the XF range or low AU... IMHO.[/QUOTE]
