  You have to get the angle of the light just right so that the color shows on the coin, then play with the image to correct it so that it looks like the original coin. As you play with some of the colors you can tend to lose others - so its just a matter of balancing

  Purples are a bit tougher to capture. I suppose it has something to do with the visible spectrum or some such scientific stuff that's over my head.

  Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

  Lots of light needed purple isn't a very bright color.
