<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1017563, member: 21705&quot;]I think you are disappointed because often, coins are exposed to bring out detail rather than natural tone. This is not uncommon with copper where much detail is lost if you try to get the tone right. The best way to handle it is with two shots, one showing detail and one showing color and tone. But this is rarely done.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, I like detail more than tone so I prefer the detail shots. An exception is my 1837 which fortunately has both color and detail.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know I&#039;ve shown it ad nauseum, but here it is again:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/Coins/400%20US/0200%20Large%20Cents/Middle%20Dates/18374.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I should note that the reverse always comes weakly struck on this variety and is not related to wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
