kg5 Valued Member Australia 491 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 06:56 am I am seriously surprised it is Gold coin! I could not post an image like that. I have been trained-experienced to be colour spot on. I listed some pennies and left the images as they naturally look. I just could not make them look like they were something else. I could not lighten them. No insult intended truly! It is just the way the last 12+years has been like for me and images. Report this Post to the Staff
CudLee Valued Member Australia 60 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 07:01 am i think it looks silver because it was so sunny the other day it was raining today so I took a few shots of coins with lots of luster including the one above ,golden today.Dented R for sure Report this Post to the Staff
appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 07:24 am I hate to disagree with everyone else but that coin does not look polished to me,any chance of another shot of the obverse CudLee ? , but the same standard as your last pic of the reverse .

CudLee Valued Member Australia 60 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 07:32 am i only use a little fujifilm point and shoot on auto , it doesn't care how many years you have in being colour spot on , so on sunny days it takes good shots of dull coins and bad shots of bright coins ,i never claimed that the it was silver and never changed the colour if I have ever lightened a coin its only so you can see it better .i am no expert in imaging but I tries me best Report this Post to the Staff

kg5 Valued Member Australia 491 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 07:59 am Absolutely beautiful image CudLee! I can see the allure of the camera image. But until I can find my coin legs, it will stick to my scanner. Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 08:01 am Im with AA. Do you think you are experienced enough to tell mint lustre from 'shiny' CudLee? If yes and it is lustre you are seeing then the coin isn't polished. Report this Post to the Staff
CudLee Valued Member Australia 60 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 7:25 pm right I have had the coin next to a 2011 fresh out of a roll and apart from the 2005 having a more golden colour and the 2011 being more silvery they both have a similar luster ,my moneys been on enworb all along have included 2011 for comparison ,note the dents on the 2011 .Well circulated coins that I have seen have one thing in common all the queens heads are very badly dented and to buff that out surely you would lose a lot of detail Report this Post to the Staff
appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 7:39 pm Nice coin CudLee,die fill on a A & H on the obverse & IMO also slight die fill on the reverse,top 3 roo's as you mentioned earlier & on the big roo's paws. Report this Post to the Staff
trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 7:47 pm I was going to be diplomatic and ignore this thread. however that is just not in my nature, I like to call a spade a spade Regardless of the way this coin is photographed via different angles and lighting It will NOT magically change it from being a polished coin This image is the clincher, the parallel lines and the displacement of the metal on the coin most certainly point to this coins true nature. There is no way known that this coin could have sustained so many hits, ding, and scratches and STILL retain a full mint lustre There is however what appears to be a small Cud on top of the"B" in ELIZEBETH Edited by trout1105 03/27/2013 7:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CudLee Valued Member Australia 60 Posts	Posted 03/28/2013 04:28 am Hi trout1105 no need to be diplomatic with me ,it would annoy me if you didn't call a spade a spade noodled a couple of rolls of 2011's dollars yesterday and out of 40 coins only four were keepers still with minor scratches some of the others were worse than this coin ,this coin could have been circulated and been grabbed early explaining the luster? Finally why is there no wear on the queens head like there should be from a well worn circulated coin ,as you can see from image the queens head gets quite a battering and just wears out ,no buffing is going to bring the lost detail back Report this Post to the Staff
kg5 Valued Member Australia 491 Posts	Posted 03/28/2013 04:34 am That is a very old wrinkly looking QEII. Report this Post to the Staff
CudLee Valued Member Australia 60 Posts	Posted 03/28/2013 04:42 am yeh bit of an extreme example don't keep any worn ones except for the 2000's but you can see how the head wears out ,mine shows none of this Report this Post to the Staff

If you don't like /agree with my opinion I don't have a problem with that But I won't change it because of different pics of the same coin. it normally takes me a few seconds to make an assessment of a coin and the first impressions tend to stay there Report this Post to the Staff
CudLee Valued Member Australia 60 Posts	Posted 03/28/2013 05:14 am no worries trout thks for your input keep it coming I'm here to learn and have never heard of people buffing coins to make them look new , hence my coin holder still reads grease fill/weak strike/brasso buff Report this Post to the Staff
