Same light source, same angle, same crappy samsung mobile photo. I don't want to say anything but give me your thoughts on the differences. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

FNQ Pillar of the Community Australia 507 Posts	Posted 06/06/2012 02:46 am Is the lower coin discoloured? If I was to hazard a guess, I'd be inclined to think that a very poor attempt has been made to clean the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
JamieSpat Valued Member Australia 119 Posts	Posted 06/06/2012 02:51 am The lower coin is toned which most of these coins seem to be. Apologies as I was only trying to get a picture of the finish and not really the details. To me one looks lifeless and dull and the other highly reflective. What could it be?
