<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 1636469, member: 39084&quot;]I&#039;ve noticed that auction catalogs tend to illustrate coins on a black background when they want a more dramatic effect for a particular coin or group of coins, while the majority of coins in a catalog are illustrated on a white background.&nbsp; But the white background may also be just a concession to not using (i.e., wasting) a lot of black ink.</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently, the Goldberg catalog for the Hunter Collection used a gradient green background on every page.&nbsp; I found this OK, but marginally distracting from the presentation of the individual coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of the two pictures above, my personal preference is still the white background, but the exposures and lighting look different between the two pictures as well.&nbsp; Both of them, however, are outstanding pictures and excellent illustrations of the coin&#039;s features.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
