tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/19/2019 11:21 pm I just pulled this out of a roll. It shows a small bit of normal color red striping showing through LIBERTY and across the shoulder and a bit by the date. But most of the coin is the improper alloy brassy stuff that clearly shows yellow-green. The coin leaps out at you when you see it among regular red MS grade coins. 1955-S MS RED woody Report this Post to the Staff

While my photo shows the woody affect okay, in hand the coin itself is redder and more lustrous than my photo shows. It looks to have been discovered this way back in 1939 in MS condition and has been in collections ever since. Report this Post to the Staff
Kawliga Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 12/22/2019 2:32 pm Okay I am totally confused about the 1939 Canadian. Mont, did you buy it from Coop, and that's why you both have photos of it? And I don't understand the discussion about depth versus background, like is it something to do with green bringing out depth more than white? And do we know if both photos were taken on their actual backgrounds or photoshopped? The 'green' image kind of looks like the saturation was just about maxed out after shooting. Sorry, I'm just totally lost on this one. Edited by Kawliga 12/22/2019 2:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Mont, did you buy it from Coop, and that's why you both have photos of it? No I did not buy this con from coop. Coop took my photo and made it 3D I believe. On My photo all I did was shoot it, did a white balance check, then cropped and combined it. When I crop a photo it lets me choose the background color. White worked well with this coin. Like I stated after coop posted that photo, his shows that the coin is actually red where the stripes aren't. In hand this coin has the stripes and blackened areas like shown but below all that you can still see the red of an UNC cent. My photo does not show that. Hope that clears thing up fer ya.
