I collect, photo and document counterfeit coins along with the genuine coins of the same kind side by side. At times details are not well seen. Coins can be crummy, dark, and just plain miserable. That's when I just learned a new trick: stop caring about the color of the coin. Alter the camera settings and photo shop settings so as to throw out the natural and make for settings & magnification that super distinctly highlight the flaws and defects on the bad coin. So in the present pages showing a counterfeit Manchurian Provinces coin, is the piece anywhere close to how it looks? No it is not. Can the faults be well seen? They sure can. My page cannot be posted. I'll see if I can edit and post some sort of example later tonight.
EDITED
Here are examples but of a different coin:

Sometimes you have to prioritize what you are actually trying to communicate over the eye candy.

It really always depends on what you're trying to convey in the photo. Is it for you only or is it an item you're trying to sell. So it really depends on what you're trying to achieve with the photo I believe.
