[QUOTE="Viper1357, post: 1082842, member: 28810"]Mat, I figured out what the white is around the outline of the face and lower left (flat areas). It's actually where the coin is less or not tarnished. If you look at the pics in the holder (posted earlier) and then the top pic of the side of the coin in my last post you can see the coin is tarnished, but the flash and or other light must have messed with the color levels in the "old camera" I have and showed less (or no) tarnish than is actually present on the face and back pics out of the plastic. I looked at it last night with a 10x magnifying glass, and indeed the "white around the portrait" and in the lower left is just non tarnished areas. It's wierd how lenses, lights, levels etc. interpret what the camera picture will produce. Thanks again for your help and information. I've learned a lot more than expected already! -Mark[/QUOTE]
