Looks to me to be the same coin

Got a Baldwins email about some stock they had and liked the look of the 1693 Halfcrown, so do a little checking.

Toning looks completely different from the DNW coin to the Baldwins one.

[Rob 2,996]

The colours in DNW pictures are always a bit washed out. The halfcrown I posted a month ago is completely different to the image on the DNW site. Compare the listing with my image which is a fairly accurate reflection of how it is in hand. i.e. The toning is much darker than their image

It happens all the time. A lot of auction houses turn up the contrast on their images.

I think if they left the contrast as is they might get some more bids judging by the pic differences

Auction houses,some dealers and quality of images leave a lot to be desired. In my saved sellers on ebay one dealer i have notated "crap images"
