Here's a Liberty going a little pinkish red in the face. The first image is by Kryptonitecomics and the second is by Lablover.

    I think it depends on what image you go on. In the first image, the toning looks more legit. (not just because of the slab insert) The second image is a bit too bright and gives it an AT look.

    I would guess that if someone is going to cook them and get those colors, they'd do the whole coin. JMHO
  • Very pretty coin in hand 100% legitimate bag toning and the coin even has some textile toning when viewed in hand image

  • the second image has been artificially juiced. The color has been over-saturated.
  • Nice NT Morgan.

    The Lablover image is a wee bit juiced, don't you think?image

    Agreed.
    When they have that much juice they do tend to take on the AT look even though-as this coin shows- it is not.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Artificially juiced? I don't think so...with all due respect. The coin was placed on the scanner in a slight angle and scanned. What you see is what the scanner captured, no adjustments were taken. But, I can see why one might think so having not had the coin in-hand.

    Here's another coin I scanned for Sy. Perhaps he will comment if it's accurate.

    Or, maybe this one.

    And this one too.

    The 3 images here by Lablover all are accurate representations of the respective coins. As to the original two images I find the first image is closer to how the coin looks, but it misses a bit of the pop of the coin which the second image captures, hence my using two images.

    Here's my take......the scanned image of the 1888 produced a coin that does look to be oversaturated with light....this can happen when scanning a coin since intense light is used and can reflect off the slab at the right angle but not all the time. The other 3 that Jim scanned above are amazing and dead accurate........even better then my digital images....in my opinion image

    Shane,

    Thanks!

    Your correct concerning the 1888. Sometimes there's a reflection back, just depends on the coin. This one acted like a Proof, which I can't scan worth a darn, although I've tried. Just to much reflection. Coins with more color (over most of the coin) tend to scan very well. I believe that is seen in the other three posted.

    See you at FUN
