The Morgan pics for example, forget trying to look at the luster and focus on the coin instead. As the angles change the scratches, hairlines and contact marks on the coin become visible, and invisible, on both the obv and rev. </p><p><br /></p><p>The point being, at one given angle for a picture the coin can look quite nice. But change that angle just slightly and it may not look so nice after all. </p><p><br /></p><p>This why final approval when buying a coin should never be based solely on pictures. Even with animated images it is a very simple matter to only use the frames that show a coin in its best light. Your final approval when you buy a coin should be given once you have seen the coin in hand and can rotate it properly under a light so that can see any issues the coin may have that were not visible in the pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>And understand I&#039;m not knocking John&#039;s picture or his coin, I am merely using it to illustrate my point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
