Coins this small look different in hand just because they are hard to see 'in hand'. They look more like this when using a magnifier because the red patches, for example are really only a millimeter across. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a problem with my photos. If you shoot a 1/2" coin and make a 10" across image, all the faults are made 20 times as obvious as they are in hand.
