Got a new bust half! Now, newly unyellowed pics!

I was looking for something affordable & attractive. Got this one -- paid retail, but it seems so much prettier than what I'd have gotten for fifteen bucks less.

    Photo too "Yellow" but looks like a very nice Bust Half! Can you post better pic's? Thanks, Lee

    I tried to 'unyellow' it but lost much of the golden glow that actually is the coin, not the lighting. You'd be surprised how much it actually looks like that. From dead on, it's sort of olive grey, but at an angle it lights up in golden & rust tones. I took lots of pics of it, and believe it or not this is the best I was able to do. I haven't figured out the nuances of photography through a slab yet, also. That's something to play around with...

    OK, I fiddled with levels in the pics. It still isn't exactly right, but it's pretty close. Anyway, I'm happy with it & wanted to show off... That, and a recent addition of extra memory to my PC allows me to mess with pics & listen to music & do emails and all that, all at once, without waiting and waiting and waiting while the hamsters inside run around and around on their wheel. It's a fun day to be me.
