[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2364336, member: 1892"]The only difference is, he employed lighting capable of bringing out the coin's color and you did not. If you physically looked at it under the same lighting with which they shot it, you would see that color. The images were not "juiced." Further, toning on silver follows a known progression of colors, and one who knows that color progression would be immediately aware the coin was in final-stage toning and would be pretty dark unless appropriately lit. When you see black in coin images lit appropriately for toning, [B]run[/B]. The coin will be nearly all black. I'm sorry you're disappointed, and sincerely hope they accept your return, but this happened solely because of your incomplete knowledge of coin photography and toning progression. Hopefully they accept the return, and you will have paid nothing for this valuable lesson.[/QUOTE]
