<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3300055, member: 15309&quot;]I agree that the beauty shots usually drown out luster, but I also find that the full slab photos do very little justice to many coins.&nbsp; They use a &quot;cookie cutter&quot; photography setup to facilitate speed and photograph as many coins as possible each day.&nbsp; And while this is incredibly efficient, anyone who has ever photographed coins knows that you need to individually adjust lighting setups in order to accurately portray the appearance of the coin.&nbsp; The Heritage setup may work great for some coins and horrible for others.&nbsp; I submit that the drastic difference between the beauty shot and the slab photo for this coin is evidence that the lighting setup was unflattering for this coin.&nbsp; To that point, the lack of luster in general in Heritage photos leads me to believe that they used many light sources but that they are all diffused.&nbsp; They are very good at showing both detail and color, but their portrayal of luster sucks.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, I must have missed the recent discussion, wanna share a link and point me in the right direction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
