Imaging of coins (and a NEWP)

Well the package from the Dallas World auction arrived today and I am really pleasantly surprised on the 1792 Frankfurt 1 1/4 Ducat Commemorating the Election of Francis as Holy Roman Emperor. I thought I could just make out some toning ont he coin in the Heritage images, but it really looked mostly a dead grey color. In hand it's mostly reddish gold with a significant amount of blue toning around the legends. Now keep in mind I am a crap photographer and this will go off to Chris for imaging in the next month or two. It just seems to me they would make a lot more money with a little investment in photography, or perhaps they want you to be surprised when you get the coins, then you'll keep bidding. I know in my case though I bid less than I would have if the image had been closer.
