I'm trying to concentrate on early stuff from here on out and found this dirty half eagle.
I suck at pix and am TRYING to get one that truly shows the DIRT contrast, but so far no luck.
These are the seller images and pretty darn accurate but ...still.... not QUITE the "dirtbag" look I wanna capture.
I have a brighter AU53 1803/2 but I kinda like the dirtier lower grade.

Super Early Half Eagle
Amazing addition to any collection
Deliciously golden !!
I would also suggest that you increase the size of your photos. This one is a bit small.
Does this come closer to what you would like to show?

<< <i>I use an older program, Microsoft Digital Image, to process pictures. One way to make the "dirt" show more is to increase the "shadows" level on the exposure and lighting area. This sometimes makes the colors too intense, which requires you to lower the saturation. Otherwise the colors are too intense. Less you think that I am "juicing" the pictures, I sit with the coin in hand and compare it with the screen as I work.

Might have been how I tweaked it for my avatar.
Not crazy about the yellow border on the avatar

Me neither but it was about all that worked at all from Paint's choices.
