[QUOTE="oval_man, post: 1017884, member: 22602"]I appreciate your thorough comment.

Disruptek's photographer is no doubt using filters to bring out specific qualities, so I realize my altered file is just one more approximation among the others, but if this coin had this color in hand, I'd be sold on it!
