<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2023133, member: 26302"]But Doug's point was still a very valid one. Not one single photograph can EVER truly represent every aspect of a coin. No matter how many you take, someone can look at the photograph and then the coin and get different takes. Therefor, by definition, photographs are inherently dangerous to make decisions on UNLESS you have seen in person hundreds of similar coins and have a great knowledge base to know what that coin will look like in hand. I must have said it here 100 times, I am uncomfortable with the "guess the grade" threads since I am not sure what the coin REALLY looks like from one photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
