Two of the pictures I am sending were taken in natural light to mute the toning on the coin. The third picture was taken in artificial light to show the toning, breast feathers and talons. Please take a look at the pics and tell me what you think. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

2Slim60 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/08/2020 12:01 am The coin has not been cleaned. The pics in sunlight take away the dark toning and some of the highlights. All three pics are of the same coin. Beautiful carousel under the toning on both sides. Virtually no scratches in fields on both sides. One small bag mark right in the center of the cheek. Will try to get some better pics tomorrow. Report this Post to the Staff

2Slim60 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/08/2020 4:50 pm Well, the toning is still in place. I am still trying to get a good picture showing the toning. I understand what you're asking but when I take a picture of the coin outside it drowns out the toning. when I take a picture of the coin inside with artificial light, It is not an accurate representation of the color of the coin. I'm going to try using another camera. get back to you soon. Report this Post to the Staff
2Slim60 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/08/2020 7:36 pm These pics are the most accurate representation of the toning but then the breast feathers and talons are not highlighted so I'm adding a close up of those. Report this Post to the Staff
