<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2050658, member: 29751&quot;]Both images are technically quite nice.&nbsp; I know it&#039;s the &quot;mantra&quot; of people to repeat the phrase &quot;<i>make the coin look like it does in hand</i>&quot;...unfortunately that&#039;s not possible.&nbsp; We can approach the look of particulars, like color and luster, but we can never make a coin look exactly as it does in hand in one photographic image.</p><p><br /></p><p>How a coin looks <i>in hand </i>depends on all of the variables and conditions under which it is viewed -- just a <i>few </i>of which are type and intensity of lighting, angle of coin to light source, and even some variables like your personal vision acuity, etc.&nbsp; We also see coins <i>in hand </i>stereoscopically, not as a camera lens does.&nbsp; All of that being said, I think both of your images are likely decent representations of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
