I just got a 1906 Mexico centavo with a really nice orange toning, but when I use my phone to photograph it, the toning is virtually non-existant. I tried adjusting just about every slider bar I could find, but nothing makes it look as good as in-hand.

Suggestions?

The problem is always with the lighting. The camera just records what it sees, so you are probably not lighting the coin in the same way as you do when you are holding it. Try holding the coin and noting everything about how it's lit, how you're holding it, etc that gives the colors you're looking for. Then set up the lighting and angles and such so it's exactly the same, and you'll nail it.
