This arrived today. While I struggle with picture and can kind of get a good shot on silver; the fact remains that I can't get the color right on copper image.
In point, this coin is mostly chocolate brown in hand. Same color as a hershey bar. Same coin, just different camera settings.
I'm proud to add this one to my 1853 Circ Set.
Thoughts and comments welcome.

    I usually shoot copper in soft light with a fairly long exposure, then color correct in photoshop. It looks like this one was shot with direct light and the contrast was juiced a little.

    Yep.

    I think the Obv on the right was "as is" and the one on the left I tried to tweak but it only got worse
    The Rev on the left was "as is" and tweaked the one on the right.

    I'll try the soft light and longer exposure thing. Thanks.
