hope you enjoy! took in daylight with auto exposure; happy with the way the color came out, perhaps a tad redder than actual. Chocolate brown in hand. These are difficult to get problem-free. The camera is doing well. For those of you who fasted today hope it was easy!

EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPH wish you lived close to me to show me how you do this!! Iwish I knew too. Thanks Mike! I think the bright sunlight brings the reds out of the coin but to get the true brown appearance I'm going to try an incandescent light(not too much!) on the same background later today. Or, I can do more indirect sunlight. That's it, I'll try both!

anyone care to venture a grade?

A nicer than average example of an issue that tends to come rough, very rough.

Nice surfaces, far better than average color, and just a few marks, all commensurate with the grade of Fine.
