Yep I had this happen with a coin I won in EA 475. CNG Photo: My photos: As others have said, I agree that coins from CNG have always looked better in hand. Once you figure out how their photography translates to coins in hand you’ll find yourself bidding on coins you may have previously avoided and feel better for it once they arrive!
It's good to remember that auction houses are businesses and that time is money. In many cases, photography is a "one size fits all" production line.
