<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 80324, member: 112&quot;]The problem with coin pics is - is it an honest pic, does it really represent what the coin would look like in hand ? All it takes to change the color of a coin in a pic is one little <u>click</u> - presto - magic ! Something as simple as changing the lightbulb will also change the color - don&#039;t even have to use magic&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>But that being aside, when you dip copper it quite often changes all kinds of colors. It may not happen right away or it may be instantly - but usually it will happen. And sometimes, it will just be a odd shade of copper red. To be able to recognize it - you have to be familiar with what undipped copper looks like in red, red/brown and brown. It&#039;s another one of those things that just requires experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>So to answer your original question - who knows ? It depends on the pic. Anything else would just be a guess - even if it was an educated guess. This is where knowing and trusting your seller comes into play&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot; (looking at coins on ebay, not to buy, just to learn about coins) &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>smart thinkin by the way&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
