[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 2709969, member: 17557"]I've been disappointed with purchasing proof toned coins in the past, from TrueView photos or otherwise. Toned proofs are really a crapshoot, and often it takes proper lighting and coordination to capture the groovy colors. What's [I]really [/I]so special about having to get out some halogen lamps just to have a coin with a moldy hazy hue glow for a few seconds? I was going to make the point that I'd be ok with TrueView photos only so long as the coin isn't proof, then [USER=85496]@MontCollector[/USER] had to go and be a trouble maker. :D Having TrueView photos of coins really aids in selling the coin, and can really make one feel like a rockstar when they're showing it off on a coin forum, but just how "true" is that view when, like [USER=85496]@MontCollector[/USER] stated, you need a lighting studio to see it? At the end of the day though, what's the worst that could happen? Buy a coin with flashy photos, and if the in-hand effect is too far off from the photos you could always just return it.[/QUOTE]
