<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2296645, member: 37839"]Without good, and I shall repeat-- GOOD digital photography, there would be no coin hobby whatsoever. Given that the majority of coin purchases are at arms length, online, how else is one supposed to evaluate coins? PCGS photo grade is an excellent resource for comparative photographs of various grades-- is it exact--No, but it is awfully good. Anybody who denigrates said resource materials is flat out incompetent as a collector, inasmuch as we need rubrics for online purchasing. So, the problem isn't coin photography-- it is bad, or doctored coin photography that misrepresents a coin. In the case of bad photography, I exercise my perogative not to buy the coin, if the photograph does not give me a good idea of the coin in question. Rather than criticize coin photography-- learn to use it to your advantage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
