doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 11/11/2015 7:17 pm Hard to tell because of the picture. I don't believe the coin is orange/red in colour, but I do think it has environmental damage (staining and/or corrosion). Report this Post to the Staff
purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 02:20 am I think it depends on the setting of your monitor, on one monitor (movie mode) it is heavy with red/orange. On the monitor that is setup for documents, there is only a few reddish spots. In hand the coin is dark, light grey and some reddish spots. I never noticed the difference in monitors until I moved the window over. It is interesting to see how much of difference makes. Photo was taken with a 40mm Micro lens, no filter. Lighting is a single halogen bulb, diffused through through plastic Report this Post to the Staff

Might want to play with the settings on your camera. The best is to take a photo of a white sheet of paper and have that as your custom white balance template. Report this Post to the Staff
