Here is a good example of why I think cointalk is such a good site, the practical knowledge that is shared by its members. Just from this thread I have learned that in taking pictures two light sources are very helpful, that placement of the lights can be key.
I wonder though, when taking pictures wether if when the coins stated grade is accurate but you take the picture to make the coin look as good as you can make it look is that an ethical question.
I do not mean photoshopping scratches or rim nicks out, I mean it like one would take a picture of a beautiful woman, you are naturally going to try to accentuate her beauty, not point out her flaws.
I think it might be a question with some highly divergent opinions, some people might ignore the grade given and rely or bid according to a flatteringly lit and angled photo, and then become angry that they paid a ms price for an au coin, but if the seller plainly stated the condition but took the picture to put the coin in its best light, would they have a case to make?
