<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3195678, member: 19165&quot;]In the modern era of the internet, how do you propose then we use this tool to communicate and commit commerce? Photographs are essential to trade over the internet, and as technology evolves accurate and adequate photographs gain increasing importance in both forming opinions of coins, and purchasing coins. This site would literally not exist if digital photography did not enable us to evaluate coins, at least at a rudimentary level. </p><p><br /></p><p>To completely rule out the use of photography in numismatics seems like a rather narrow-minded and antiquarian approach to modern technology. Auction houses have been using photographs since the late 1800&#039;s to convey the appearance of a coin, so that people could bid on them. And photograph technology has improved quite a bit since then. Is it so impossible that we could use pictures to aid in our evaluation of coins? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I assumed it was a summer seminar because that is the most in-depth version of the course. </p><p><br /></p><p>The question remains, however: for those not fortunate enough to attend one of these types of classes, how should they learn to grade? Or should they just give up?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
