<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2194152, member: 112&quot;]You cannot capture everything about a coin with a single picture, it simply can&#039;t be done. That&#039;s because even the tiniest change in angles changes what you get in the picture. The exact same thing happens when viewing a coin in hand, shift the coin, shift the light, even shift your eyes, the tiniest little bit and the look changes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that Heritage pics can sometimes be lacking, but other times they can be quite good. Could they be better ? Sure, by better by whose definition ? Post 3 or 4 pictures of the same coin and ask folks which one they like better and you&#039;re going to get a whole lot of different answers and explanations as to why which one is better. </p><p><br /></p><p>And I think we also have to realize that when Heritage or any other auction house is having pics taken they are taking pictures of hundreds or even a couple thousand coins. So it becomes a money issue for them, and it can be a big one, to take multiple pics of each coin so they can find the best. And of course you have to think about who does the choosing to decide which is the best. It&#039;s the same with them as it is with us, ask 5 different people and you&#039;ll get 5 different answers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
