dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 09/01/2014 10:50 am i know this is not a rare or valuable coin. I received this in my lunch change. I just thought it was in remarkable condition - considering it is 11 years old and a circulation find. when I saw it I was expecting a nearly new coin. I actually expected a 2014. i cant explain the difference in color. the two images were taken only seconds apart, and the lighting conditions were the same. i know I need to work on my photo skills.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/01/2014 11:18 am One possible reason for the condition is that your particular coin was not released into circulation by the Federal Reserve until recently. The Feds store them until needed. And SO MANY were made that the coins can sit around for a while waiting to be released. OR You could have gotten one from a personal hoard that the collector finally decided to get rid of. I know, I did that a few months back. Report this Post to the Staff
tkbslc Pillar of the Community United States 1158 Posts	Posted 09/01/2014 4:12 pm As to the lighting shift, my guess is that you are using fluorescent lighting which cycles at the frequency of your electricity (60hz in North America). Since a photograph is recorded in a fraction of a second, you can capture the lighting at various shifts in color that are invisible to the naked eye. https://support.nikonusa.com/app/an...ent-lighting Report this Post to the Staff
