<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2719138, member: 76194"]Here is the thing, when I got it the coin looked more like the before picture, though the before picture is not as detailed as the after picture (Before picture done with cellphone, after picture done with $400 digital camera). The coin over time has become lighter. While it still has some light toning, it lightened considerably in an acetone bath I gave it a few months ago (sometimes that happens), especially of some of the toning was a result of handling with dirty hands and/or tobacco tars as people smoked in their houses a few decades ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the second picture shows way more details. Now you can see metal flow marks you couldn't see in the original image. A digital camera sensor twice the size of the best cell phone camera sensor will do that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
