<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Denis Richard, post: 26137912, member: 112673&quot;]The first coin photo was taken in 1849; like all photos of the day, it was black and white. I&#039;m looking for a hand-coloured, by which I mean hand-painted, black-and-white image of a coin. Hand colouring prints were very popular in the day, and a skilled artist could make them look great. Did a deep-pocketed coin collector do that for any beautifully toned coins in their own collection? Then again, in that era, were toned coins less desirable?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
