[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2788658, member: 27832"][USER=88466]@Candygirl7[/USER], can you try this, please? Put the piece on a standard sheet of white paper (8 1/2 x 11). Hold your camera far enough above it so that most of the sheet of paper is in the picture. Take pictures of the front and back with the camera held like that. This is the [I]opposite[/I] of the advice we usually give, because it means you're wasting a lot of your camera's resolution with a tiny image of the coin. But what it [I]should[/I] do is give you photos with the proper white balance. I'm betting that both sides of the piece will be clearly gold-colored, mostly because I think you would've mentioned in the beginning if they weren't. Or I'd settle for "yes, both sides are gold colored" or "no, the back is silvery". :)[/QUOTE]
