<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 2444044, member: 24544&quot;]I saw those pictures.&nbsp; I am not saying definitively either way.&nbsp; It&#039;s my experience that a lot of bad pictures from point and shoot cameras can really mess up the red/green balance.&nbsp; When you photograph old copper with the red turned down and the green turned up, you get photos like the sellers of coins that look like yours in hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I photograph old copper, with a DSLR on a copy stand and dedicated daylight bulbs I still have to post-process the photos and turn up the red and down the green to get a photo that approximates the coin in hand.&nbsp; And that&#039;s using a decent photo set up.&nbsp; It&#039;s just my experience.&nbsp; I would not be surprised to learn the coin was conserved between his photos and when you got it, and if that&#039;s the case it was a decent conservation that does not appear to have altered the patina/surfaces.&nbsp; But I would also not be surprised to learn that nothing was done to the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will try to process the original sellers photos later tonight when I get home to show you what I mean.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
