<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 2444009, member: 24544&quot;]I am not as sure as the rest appear to be that the coin was not in the same condition in both sets of pictures.&nbsp; I think I can see some scratches in the original photos, although I am sure it was lite in such a way as to make them much less apparent, intentionally done or not I can&#039;t say.&nbsp; In addition, getting true color on these old copper coins can be very difficult.&nbsp; I have seen enough photos and coins to tell you that the red/green balance can often be very out of wack, with a coin in hand having a very natural appearance and the photo showing green highlights.</p><p><br /></p><p>This looks like a pretty common version of poor photograph on the sellers part, bad color balance and bad lighting leading to a coin that looks much different in hand.&nbsp; I doubt anything was done to the coin between when the seller&#039;s photos were taken and when you got the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
