[QUOTE="kanga, post: 4034999, member: 9270"]I only disagree mildly. Cameras tend to accentuate things that the eye doesn't see. The dark areas are there and the photo only slightly "enhances" them. The wear appears worse in the photo than it does in-hand. My photo is about 10x. As I understand it graders form their opinions from the coin in-hand and only use a loupe if they think there's something on the coin that needs a closer look, and then only at 3x. I suspect that if I reduce the image to 3x grading opinions could change. But to show the coin well I'll stick to my larger images.[/QUOTE]
