<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2299376, member: 1892"]It's all in lighting technique. I don't know what apparatus Bob shoots, although it's obviously top-end and the difference isn't there. What he has that PCGS lacks is the ability to fine-tune his lighting to that which best suits the specific coin, when PCGS is on more of an assembly-line status (like Heritage with their imagery). Their images are excellent because their equipment and procedure are excellent, but nothing beats being able to vary the lighting angle and diffusion carefully over two or three takes to bring out the best in the coin under the lens. This is vital with toners, because the apparent color changes so drastically with just a few degrees of lighting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'd like to know his technique too. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
