2001 Austrian 10 Kreuzer - $12.50 shipped!

Scored a 2001 Austrian 10 Kreuzer 1 oz. .925 silver coin from eBay today for $12.50 ($10.50 + $2.00 shipping). Woohoo, silver under spot!

Anybody have any of these? Looks to be about the size of a SAE, but this will be my first one.

Because Tom is an awesome photographer, and whoever took the pic of my coin isn't! :proud:

It's called "white balance". Using a film camera with daylight balanced film like Kodacolor 100, have you ever taken pictures indoors without a flash? Under light bulbs, the pictures look orange, under fluorescents green. The light "temperature" was different than that for which the film was optimized. All cameras, including digital, need to be adjusted depending on the type of light that you are shooting. With film cameras, the adjustment is with the type of film that you shoot and sometimes with filters. Most digitals have "auto" white balance but results vary. I use a high end digital SLR but I end up manually adjusting my white balance fairly often.

Eyeofliberty's picture was badly off but you see that a lot. The coin is the same color as every other silver coin.
