<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2713220, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;m mellowing when it come to coin in palm photos.&nbsp; When people shoot them they tend to wiggle , perhaps subconsciously, and take the photo when the coin looks good rather than just plopping it on a background (even a wonderful black) and shooting without thinking about the light angle.&nbsp; I could suggest cropping a little tighter so we saw more coin and less skin but this photo does what needed to be done better than many some owners of real cameras do.</p><p><br /></p><p>This sharp photo shows a surface situation where it appears the outer layer of silver pealed away exposing a slightly lesser silver below.&nbsp; This most commonly happens when flans were &#039;pickled&#039; in acid removing some surface copper and leaving the better silver to be compressed when struck. Were pennies of this period struck on &#039;pickled&#039; flans?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
