[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 922847, member: 15309"]Doug, Heritage already had the best detail of anyone in the industry due to the sheer size of their photos. I never considered that an issue. Quite honestly, the ability to see too much detail is actually detrimental in the grading process because what you cant see at 10X should be ignored anyway. My concern is that the photo be an accurate representation of how the coin looks in hand. Anyone who has taken thousands of coin photos knows exactly how difficult that task is. IMO, Heritage's change has made their photos less realistic, not more realistic. With regards to hairlines on proof coins, I don't know anyone who can accurately portray them in a photograph and that includes the professional photographers like Mark Goodman etc. Anyone who buys expensive proofs based solely on photos is gambling with their money.[/QUOTE]
