<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bugo, post: 1985067, member: 53226&quot;]I recently purchased this 1901 Indian head cent from ebay. As you can see, in the seller&#039;s pictures, it shows a lot of colorful toning. In my pictures it looks like a typical reddish-brown penny. My pictures more accurately depict how the coin actually looks. The seller said that they didn&#039;t realize the toning was there until after they took the pictures. My question is: why did the toning show up in their pictures but not mine? Is there a special filter you can use to bring out toning? I only gave a buck fiddy for it so it&#039;s not a big deal and it&#039;s still an attractive coin and I&#039;m happy with it. I&#039;m not good at all at taking coin pictures and I certainly don&#039;t know all the tricks. Were the pictures somewhat distorted for whatever reason? In real life, Liberty looks shinier than the fields of the obverse. It isn&#039;t some sort of proof, is it?</p><p><br /></p><p>What would you guess the grade would be? To my unexperienced eye, I would guess an EF or an AU. There is a little bit of damage on the left side of the coin at the 9 o&#039;clock position on the obverse but it doesn&#039;t bother me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller&#039;s pictures:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/1901tonedindianheadcentobverse_zps3386d5c9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/1901tonedindianheadcentreverse_zps6a225efa.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My pictures:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/IMG_3690_zpsd838523f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/IMG_3693_zps119a10f6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
