<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 5389795, member: 97383&quot;]Roerbakmix, Your photo of the Domitian sestertius looks far superior to CNG&#039;s <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The clean-up you did on the 10 litrai coin is impressive <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! How do these coins look in natural sunlight <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? I&#039;ve always favored shooting photos in natural diffused sunlight versus artificial light, &amp; use an inexpensive Cannon Rebel XS camera. Pictured below are photos of a Chinese 10 cash coin CNG sold for me from their E-Auction 483. The top photo is CNG&#039;s &amp; the bottom one is mine. There is a big difference in color between these photos <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1231551[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1231553[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p>I have a Year 2 Jewish shekel coming up for auction in CNG Triton XXIV, lot 781. The top photo pictured below is a CNG photo &amp; the bottom photo is mine. The CNG photo makes the coin look much darker than it actually is, &amp; frankly I&#039;m not happy with it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! CNG photos of slabbed coins are generally of poor quality, &amp; I&#039;m sorry I didn&#039;t remove the coin from the slab before giving it to them. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1231569[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1231571[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Another coin I have in the same auction, a Roman provincial bronze of Tiberius, I did remove from the slab before giving it to them is pictured below. CNG&#039;s photo is on top &amp; the slabbed photo is below it. The CNG photo, lot 928, is outstanding despite some lost detail on the obverse compared to the slabbed photo <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1231579[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1231584[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
