1959 Cent - From The Darkness Into A Rainbow

Usually when I post a colourful coin, I only put the nicest photos. Not all of them look like keepers without direct light. What would you do with this one if it came across your desk with 49 others.....shoot it along quickly ? The obverse even looks to have some verdigris in the lettering. If you look hard, there's a bit of original lustre on the reverse- it's not shiny in the photos.




So you see that there are no shenanigans with colours, I used the same halogen desk lamp and only moved the light or the camera.
I usually take 4 standard shots of each side; straight down/no direct light (photos above), slightly less angle/w light, from the right then from the left, and maybe several more (I kept 16 for this coin).



(okiecoiner, this is the 1959 hanging 9 I messed up in another post)


The obverse, ugly, or is it. Here it is next to a normal red 1959 cent.





It even has a fingerprint behind the queen
