<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 1054760, member: 17555&quot;]Photo was not juiced, but was &quot;lit up&quot; heavily.&nbsp; I poored the light to it, at least the best I could and this is what came out.&nbsp; &nbsp; Take a look at this coin on heritage:</p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1151&amp;LotIdNo=151003" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1151&amp;LotIdNo=151003" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1151&amp;LotIdNo=151003</a></p><p>There are a couple of photo&#039;s of the obverse posted.</p><p>Question I would ask you and the forum:&nbsp; Is one of the pictures &quot;juiced&quot;,, they suuure don&#039;t look the same to me,,,&nbsp; Why not ?&nbsp; (juiced or lit up?)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>In either case, it does bring up a good aspect of toners:&nbsp; IMO almost all of them look dark in and much much less colorful in hand compared to the pictures that most toner sellers post.&nbsp; The color is generally only shown when the coin is placed in an environment with an unnatural level of lighting,, or even super saturated with light before the coin appears similar to the pictures that are often posted.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this case, the coin was exposed to a flood of light,,&nbsp; actually made my forhead hot to when I dropped over it to snap the picture.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ll snap a couple more and post them.</p><p>1st one will be with same lighting and then I&#039;ll go in a drop the color saturation level 10%.</p><p>2nd one will be on my kitchen table in normal ambient lighting (few fluorscent cloud lights on the ceiling and open windows on a hazing snowy day with no direct sun).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My opinion, again, is that almost all the toners we will see in this post are juiced (including mine).&nbsp; &nbsp; If you want to know what a &quot;monstor&quot; toner actually looks like in then look at the darker of the obverse pictures in the heritage link.&nbsp; Also note that this coin will even appear darker than that in normal ambient light.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
