<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1819183, member: 112&quot;]If by scans you mean a picture, what good would that do ? None. Why ? Because even though you take a picture of a coin and it shows some marks or hairlines, if you take another picture with just slightly different lighting or even a tiny change in the angles, you will see other marks or hairlines that you did not see in the first picture. Or, some of the marks/hairlines that you did see in the first picture will not show up in the second picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>Among people who know coins, this is common knowledge. That is why you only judge coins when you can see them in hand. That is why every numismatic book there is on the subject, and every numismatic expert, will tell you that you need to view and judge coins under a good light and while slowly rolling, tilting, and turning the coin under that light. Because only by doing that can you see everything there is to see about a coin and render a valid judgement on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pictures coins and what they show or don&#039;t show prove nothing about whether a mark, hairlines, scratches, whatever, was there or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
