<p>[QUOTE="Strik9, post: 8235159, member: 112403"]And about that toning, get this: Under “normal” lighting (LED, daylight and/or luminescent) the coin DOES NOT look anything like it does in the pictures. That is, with the exception of this picture here: the only that was taken with a DSLR camera, and with both the flash on as well as the coin held directly perpendicular to the camera lens. All of the other photos were taken without flash and inside of a light box. Sure, I can understand why a coin would look bright, reflective and shiny given some of the aforesaid measures, but for all of the other photos in which it appears both spotted and with an odd rim “toning” — I’m dumbfounded. And for the record, I did not manually manipulate the photos by adjusting the camera’s levels (i.e., aperture, focal length) nor did I use a lens filter or make any changes to the photo (other than to crop the images) prior to upload.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
