All that is required is to change the angle of the light slightly and presto - the marks and signs of wear are gone.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is also easy to hide or alter toning on a coin with a picture. In fact - accurately capturing toning is one of the most difficult things to do. And if the person who produces the pic decides to use photo editing software - anything is possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>So don&#039;t always trust pictures - trust instead the person who took them&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
