Basically, I DO NOT PHOTOGRAPH COINS, with incredibly rare exceptions and recent lighting and exposure tests. That one toner, in NGC plastic, is noticeably different in two years.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, the density and contrast differences of each pair of yours is so different as to render a comparison useless.
