[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2385761, member: 24314"]What are "photographic chops." I'm guessing magnified photos? I seem to remember a large number of CT members arguing that you can/cannot grade using photographs. IMO, they are often useless to ID other things we see on coins too. Need Proof: Read d the nonsense on this old thread: "Cleaned or Polished Die?" So much :yack: to NOT explain in 2 seconds of the original post that a toned Silver Eagle was [COLOR=rgb(179, 0, 179)]ruined by a wheel mark[/COLOR]! After the first 2 pages of "nothing" (except for one member who recognized what happened but could not remember what to call it) I stopped reading the BS and misinformation as it was hurting my head. I'm afraid to look at that thread again to see if someone FINALLY set the record straight. :smuggrin:[/QUOTE]
