Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 1:11 pm Is this the actual color, or does it appear a natural brown? If the latter, better pics would help. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 1:24 pm Datguyy77, Please remind us of what you are using to take photos with. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Datguyy77 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 1:50 pm It appears more Brown naturally. That's just the lighting from the background. And I'm using a Nokia Android phone to take the picture Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 1:54 pm Are you also using a clip-on magnifier? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Datguyy77 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 1:57 pm Nope. Not to take photos of full coins. I only use a clip-on magnifier to get up close photos of key areas of interest Report this Post to the Staff
Datguyy77 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 2:26 pm Here are a couple photos in a darker area to see the real color Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 2:29 pm Most of your pics look a bit odd, like maybe not a straight on shot and a bit out of focus? Maybe try a 14% or 18% gray scale background? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Datguyy77 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 2:42 pm @john1 I put my phone about 5 to 6 in over the coin in a straight on position and take the picture with the best lighting I can possibly find and still see details and scratches of the coin because if I take the dark ones I can't see the real details in the pictures. But I have no idea how to change the grayscale on the photo when I'm taking it. I've never seen a setting on my phone that says grayscale Report this Post to the Staff

Datguyy77 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 2:49 pm I have a pro mode for my camera on my phone and it has those settings on the right hand side in the picture but I don't know what any of those things mean so I never use it. I just use the regular camera mode and take pictures cuz I know nothing about the settings Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 5:19 pm Gray scale for the background is a piece of cardboard or cloth you put the coin onto before taking the photo.I do not remember if it is 14 or 18%? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19267 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 5:32 pm I could go with a solid F15, perhaps F15+. Report this Post to the Staff
Datguyy77 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 6:33 pm @john1 thanks. I had never heard of it before. I really can't stand taking pictures of coins because it's very time consuming and I would rather just take my time to actually look through coins and find new stuff than to take double the time taking pictures than I did to even find the coin.
