throughtheireyes Valued Member 477 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 2:06 pm The color balance is WAY off on that photo making it look much more red than it actually is... A true "Red" is coppery. Edited by throughtheireyes 07/26/2017 2:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
radatat Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 2:26 pm yeah I agree. I just keep finding many pennies that have actual red tint all through them. I want to say it is environmental but I just don't think so. I can't get the quality of the color I want with my camera though. Maybe everyone finds these. I just like the color.
