<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1095876, member: 26302&quot;]As a quick aside, I can feel your guys pain now regarding trying to take good photos of toned coins. I am not a photographer, so before I could not relate. However, I just bought a coin from a huge auction firm and posted their pic in the ancient forum. The pic I bought from showed major weakness on the reverse, and some on the front. I bought it from this pic anyway since it had the details I wanted. Anyway, I get the coin in hand last night, and it turns out the &quot;weakness&quot; is due to gorgeous gold and red toning on the silver, and in fact the coin is much higher grade than believed. Not only did the toning not show up on the pic, it hid details that were there. I am very happy since I got a much better coin than I thought of course. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I can somewhat commisurate with troubles now of taking good photos of these. I would have been happy with just a pic of the details, I can imagine how hard it is to get that AND the toning right on a picture. Do you guys have trouble capturing these details, or people thinking a coin is lower grade because of the toning changes?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
