<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 8094787, member: 97383&quot;]Shogun, You&#039;ve posted a handsome group of nummi <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! One thing you should keep in mind is the longer a silvered nummus is exposed to the natural air we breathe the darker the coin will become, like the first coin you posted. The same thing holds true for nummi that are kept in safe-flips. The open part of the safe-flip will tone the coin in that area. I like to keep silvered nummi is slabs to prevent them from turning grey/black. As far as photographing them, all my shots were taken in diffused sunlight. Pictured below are examples from my collection. Nummi that have kept most of their silvering are rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407116[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407118[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407119[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407120[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The last three coins have lost most of their silvering, especially the last two.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407122[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407125[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407126[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
