Playing With Camera

The coin is golden in color. I have had it in a plastic bag in my desk drawer at work for a year or two now. These bags have that effect on coins. Picture taken on a piece of printer paper.

    Note to self - plastic bags are detrimental to coins. Coin doctors note - plastic bags may be another tool to be used to induce color on coins for resale at insane profits. Cheers, RickO

    I have never sold a coin in my almost 50 years of collecting. I asked once on the Forum if this would be considered AT and was told it wasn't? I have maybe $10 worth of quarters and nickels in plastic bags in the drawer. The nickels turn a golden color too.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    The problem with the image is I can't remember what settings i used to take the picture. I had the camera in hand and took them at work under the fluorescent lighting. I tried taking some slabbed Carver/Washingtons at home this morning and couldn't get the same pictures.

    It's a new camera, a Canon SD 1400 IS.
