[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1644596, member: 112"]I disagree with that 100%. You are of course welcome to your opinion, but every book you pick up will tell you that coins are best viewed in a darkened room under an incandescent light if you want to see any and all flaws and/or breaks in the luster. I disagree with that too. The way you are saying it implies that it is true of any picture, but it isn't. I agree entirely that pictures can, sometimes, be very misleading. But it depends on the picture. Yes, some pictures can hide things or not show things that you would see if you looked at the coin in person. But that is by no means true of all pictures. Some pictures are extremely accurate. So to say that you cannot see luster breaks in a picture just isn't true. Change that statement and say that you cannot see luster breaks [U]in some pictures[/U], and I'll agree with you.[/QUOTE]
