<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 501715, member: 4381&quot;]From my experience I have to say that it is very tough to get the right color from a coin in a photograph.&nbsp; Much of the color comes from the play of light against the metal of the coin and is the result of diffraction.&nbsp;&nbsp; This coloration is very hard to get in a photo that has enormous detail and which takes only an instantaneous and single view of the coin.&nbsp; Luster is similarly difficult to capture.&nbsp; I think Heritage takes so much heat because they seem to do a better job than anyone else at photographing coins in mass.&nbsp; they are frankly very good at it and that is driving up expectation.</p><p><br /></p><p>the guy who doesn&#039;t like them because the don&#039;t use his photos is, frankly, a lunatic.&nbsp; How can he expect them to accept a sellers&nbsp; photographs?&nbsp; Let him sell in the hornets nest of fraud and corruption called Ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>For complex colored coins, you probably need a moving picture and if you search back you will see I do occasionally make short movies of shiny coins&nbsp; for cointalk to show luster and tone.&nbsp; But then you lose detail.</p><p><br /></p><p>And forget about what florescent lighting does to coin colors.&nbsp; It turns everything yellow.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben</p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
