[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1427856, member: 22585"]Yeah, on the same line kanga mentioned: Everyone can say an image looks great, however only the person who sees the coin in hand can say if it is really a good representation of the coin. So it sounds like you feel it is a good depiction of the coin. That is good to hear. Whenever I image coins, I always take the approach as if it was for sale. Will the person who buys it feel it is exaclty how the coin looked in the image? This is especially important when it comes to copper and toned coins. Siggi, is the coin that dark in hand? It looks to me like it might be a little more red, based on the area above the head on the obverse. Not sure if you do any post processing with software, but here is an example of some adjustments. This is more of a general example, not because your coin needed it. Your image is quite good, and I don't know what it looks like in hand.But many times, the use of software is needed to really show true color.
