I can't remember seeing one with this kind of color....Hmmmmm

Very, very subtle, your right.....

Sure there is not a exterior reflection at work here. A 70 should not be toned in this short of time.

johnny9434 · May 28, 2012 4:07AM

well, that is a keeper and different looking

commoncents05 · May 28, 2012 4:09AM

I agree with Lindedad that the toning is from a reflection and not on the coin.

I had a tye dyed shirt on when imaging this piece....LOL It's true and I can't believe you guys got it.

Hats off to the both of you for getting it right. I was amazed on how the refection of my shirt had this kind of effect on the image....Joe

Slide 39 of my "Coin Photography on the Cheap" lecture: Don't buy an orange, red, pink, or lime green camera. Get a black one if possible.

Somewhere I should mention something about wearing tie-dyed shirts, too, I guess.

Well, that kinda kills the hopes of a future Framton/Hulk Monster Roosevelt

Actually, there's one other thing that could cause that appearance, but I think even a modern Roosie has relief that is too high to actually see it. If the coin is tilted slightly out of plane with the camera (and by slightly I mean imperceptibly -- fractions of a millimeter), you could get what's called longitudinal chromatic aberrations at the points of high contrast. Usually you see this effect at the edges of lettering. They're reddish when the object is too close to the camera, and bluish-green when the object is too distant. You usually see these artifacts before the image starts to look out of focus. The reason you'd see it on the portrait itself and not just the edges of the design and lettering is that the "snakeskin proof" finish has enough high contrast points on it that are big enough to show this effect. This would effectively tint the entire region with longitudinal chromatic aberrations.

I haven't tried to reproduce this effect, and I don't know that I will try. I'll add it to my list.

I was expecting to open up this thread to a pretty wild looking buffalo nickel. I was just a tad disappointed, but a cool proof dime nonetheless.

i'd trade your 2 buffaloes back on this one...

not to sure about it being a keeper...more so a sinker...as we all hope to see a wild buff here and we end up sinking when we see this...

dlmtorts · May 28, 2012 7:47AM

No disappointment here. I think it is a cool photo and I never realized a reflection could have that effect. Also impressed that fellow forumites nailed that too. I am constantly learning from all the wise folks on here.
