You can have 5 people take pics of the same coin and all 5 of them will look different. For that matter you can take 5 pics and all 5 will look different.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course the very same thing happens when you hold a coin in hand and turn it under a light. With every tiny change in angle you will see a different look. This is especially true when the coin has any toning, and almost all coins have some degree of toning. Excepting freshly dipped coins of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is also true that even if you employ the best photographers out there and they each take a different pic of the same coin, all trying to make it look as good as they can, that when others view the pics, there will be many different opinions as to which pic makes the coin look better. This is because of differences in taste - chocolate and vanilla.</p><p><br /></p><p>And regardless of who takes the picture, when you view the coin in hand, it is almost always going to look different to you. Again, this is because of changes in lighting and the angles at which you view the coin. Sure you can see the coin and it will look exactly like the picture, but only when you duplicate the lighting they used and hold the light and the coin at the same angle at which they took the picture. Any other angle, any other light, and it will look different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
