<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 7844821, member: 13650&quot;]I use a copy stand and a Canon Rebel T3i with a bellows, and a remote shudder switch.&nbsp;&nbsp; For this shot I was using the Schneider Componon-S lense on it because the coin is so small.&nbsp; I use my Nikon El Nikor lense for just about everything else.&nbsp;&nbsp; I had all the lights on for it but it didn&#039;t show the toning well doing that so I turned a couple off.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was too bright.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; To me, it appears to have subdued luster that spins around the toning.&nbsp; &nbsp; I figure it is from the 1800s but it&#039;s really only 149 years old.&nbsp;&nbsp; It had to have been taken out of circulation early on to retain the details.&nbsp;&nbsp; It would have had a nice MS clean white look for who knows how many decades.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then, it must have sat in an album for a long time at some point.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how long it would take for toning like this to present itself.&nbsp;&nbsp; The edges are pretty dark.&nbsp;&nbsp; It has great details on the head and the face.&nbsp; It&#039;s not the easiest coin to get a picture of and show everything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
