Message:: [QUOTE="brg5658, post: 2335727, member: 29751"]I agree with your sentiments here [USER=1892]@SuperDave[/USER] .  I will also agree with [USER=19165]@physics-fan3.14[/USER] , I think Todd is very good, but I don't think he's the best (if such an objective assessment could even theoretically be determined).  In my experiences, Todd IS the best at photographing PL and DMPL Morgan dollars, but I don't care for the way he photographs copper in particular. I would also not agree that Mark Goodman is "the best".  I do think Mark has done  a lot to improve the quality of coin photography among the masses.  However, I believe that [USER=31773]@rmpsrpms[/USER]  has done just as much in a shorter amount of time.  There is a group of us who have been "trained" up to professional level under the tutelage of [USER=31773]@rmpsrpms[/USER] .  Both Mark and Ray (rmp) are incredible resources and brilliant coin photographers.  Picking a "best" is like picking a favorite child.  Phil Arnold of PCGS' TrueView service is also of note for creating "artistic" renditions of coins (though, often, not very accurate to in hand look).  Bob Campbell, Lance Keigwin, and Tom Bush are also fantastic photographers and the photos look like the coins! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I'm very glad GC is adding this new service to their auctions.  Their auction photographs were already the "gold standard" in the auction world.  Heritage uses too diffuse light sources, but I have learned how to interpret them.  They are good.  Stacks images are okay, but nothing special. Just my 2 cents...[/QUOTE]
