With the right camera/lens, luster is automatic.

There's nothing quite like copper luster. Here's a copper that arrived last week, and I photographed today.



1857 Canadian Provincial Half-penny Token, Bank of Upper Canada
Graded by NGC as MS65BN

The same camera as many others on these boards use. A Canon T2i with a bellows and APO-Rodagon-D 75mm f/4 1:1 duplicating lens.
