OMG, I almost burned my retinas out looking at this site

Hyperion

could any of that stuff possibly be AT'd? I was almost sick from the neon.

100.

Pretty extreme stuff.

Capitalizing on a trend. Some folks are probably very happy that a business focused on this exists.

Will Ricko post in this thread?

I'm waiting for them to produce some toned Platinum.

[edit] Oh yeah, it's probably 100+, isn't it?

You do know that's a forum member here? Ah, well. Who said that everything must be happy 'glowing' talk?

The pictures are "lively"

I think so as well. That image with the chameleon on the homepage looks familiar.

So with AT coins, what is the process to get them to look like that (or any other AT coin)?

How the heck did you find that site?

copperfan

The seller has a link on his bst thread. I havent seen it in awhile, but its there...

I don't think any of the coins are AT...plenty are mint set toners etc on the site. The images are juiced for sure but I believe the coins are legit.

May the force be with you if you look and pity to the fools who do!

I think the neon toned 1975 cent is NT. That was my senior year in high school and IIRC, there were a lot more neons then. --Jerry

Numismatic Photography by Mark Goodman 2008, p 121 regarding Color

"Color is easily overdone with contrast or saturation adjustments. Other than
white balance issues, resist the temptation to tinker with color, as these
adjustments can easily go too far. You just need to keep in mind what the coin
looks like in hand and keep adjustments to a minimum. Otherwise, you will
quickly have an unnatural looking image."

adamlaneus

Word.

Glad Mr. Goodman mentioned contrast too. Many folks do not realize what that does to color.

I hope to get this book soon!

If I remember correctly, this person posts on the NGC boards as well.

The vast majority of coins on that site appear NT, although the pics obviously look like they've had the brightness turned up.
I think that many here don't know the difference (NT vs AT)...and that's fine, but it's pretty lame starting a thread bashing someone's stuff when the vast majority of it looks legit.

And it is the second bashing of the day.

Come on -- almost every image on that website is juiced. The coins are NT, but they are being misrepresented.

Here is a good one:



Oh yeah, I forgot the standard excuse applies -- "I do not juice up all my pictures, but it seemed necessary with this coin to portray what it really looks like." Yeah, that's what the coin really looks like.

<< <i>The pictures are "lively" >>



Now that's a gentle way to put it.

segoja

So PCGS and NGC say NT and you say AT.

Who is the pro?

Pics are juiced, but the coins look real

coinpictures

I'm not doubting the coins are NT... but attempting to use those pictures as any barometer of reality is destined for failure.
