Post some beautiful contrasting copper color

By themselves high grade coppers are very pleasing to look at.

But there is some intrinsic quality about copper that, when overlayed on other shades/concoctions of copper, is flat out beautiful.

For example, this cent collage of Large, FE, IH and Lincoln high grades.

Shylock, nice collage - how do you overlap your images?

They are all clipped coins that he has carefully aligned to lay flat on a table and then takes a single image.

Alternatively, one may use a circular crop or mask tool in many software applications that allows one to digitally remove only the coin, without background, and then to place the coin on top of another image to make it appear to have the images laying on top of one another.

What TomB said.

mrpotatoheadd overlayed some great images.

But they are not copper.

I'll revert back to a simplistic Christmas tree of copper coins, from 5 years ago, for what I'm looking for.
