Heritages Pics. Are They Any Good ?

Heritage has two photo process as best as I can glean.

For most coins, I believe they use a scanner (although it may be a cheaper camera). The appearance of these photos is not really that bad for a batch process, but they tend to overexpose lustrous silver. The look of these scans is very distinctive -- they are lit "from below".

For other coins (generally expensive ones), I believe they use a more traditional (and labor intensive) photograph.

All IMHO...Mike

I don't trust Heritage to show good images all the time and they will not allow me to offer the images. It's been the same for many years and they won't get my coins till things change.

 

have you migrated to the Sheldon scale or are the grading standards also as old as the shoes

 

be more accurate and say about 2000 years ago

 

there is no luck there is spock. he must be telling everyone he knows the young and dashing spock

 

This is exactly right. The batch process is done to most coins, but the expensive coins get a visual coin-to-image comparison to be sure the image accurately shows the reality of the coin.

As an aside, if you have a coin you are interested in that has a troublesome image then just click the "report a problem with this page" link at the bottom of the page and say that the image is inadequate and request that it be redone. If you email is received early enough then this can be done.

 

I can hardly keep one woman happy, I can't imagine trying to keep two happy!!

 

if someone says a coin is graded do you assume its graded by ngc/or pcgs?

 

i rest my case i am also beginning to get a feel on why me and GD get along now

 

I would have a girlfriend or two but my wife is hot tempered and would probably have a big problem with it so I decided not to bother. Then again, sometimes she is more than I can handle so its probably for the best

 

would she throw your collection out o the window? if so i know a couple of peeps i can send to collect :whistle:
