1916 Cuba 1 Centavo -- Help Requested

newbiecollector

I have bumped this to ask if anyone could give me some details on this coin and an approximate Krause value.

I want to put it on a local auction site and I do not have my books with me. Thanks for any help


Which photo do you like best?




The above are with no post processing. Just different white balances selected on the camera.
Below is processed and brightness adjusted. This is much closer to what it looks like in hand

The bottom one, if that is what it looks like in hand,,,,, the desired result.

The bottom pic is very close to in hand look but I had to phtoshop the thing to get the color right.

For the life of me I can NOT get the white balance right when using lights and macro setting

I don't think that I have ever taken a coin picture that did not need some degree of photoshop to get it looking like original.

With my previous camera I got great pics of BU silver coins. Only thing I ever did was use photoshop to crop the pic.

This camera I get pretty good copper/brass pics and very good gold pics.....but NOT BU silver

If that is the case, try using a different background color when shooting silver.

I have boz......every color I can think of. It is just me I am sure, not the camera
