<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3279852, member: 15309&quot;]That would support Jason&#039;s guess that the coin may be prooflike as an EDS coin.&nbsp; I have several modern Jefferson&#039;s with prooflike surfaces and they are an absolute PITA to photograph.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for Heritage, they haven&#039;t used scans in over a decade, but their photography set up is a cookie cutter set-up designed to photograph thousands of coins per day.&nbsp; They don&#039;t try to get the best shot, they just stick the slab in, take the photo, flip it over, take the photo, and move along to the next coin.&nbsp; The only time a coins gets extra attention is when it is given the oversized photos based on the rarity of the coin or the request of the consignor.&nbsp; When I consigned many of my toned Morgan Dollars, I requested these photos to highlight the toning, and the Heritage rep referred to them as &quot;beauty shots.&quot;&nbsp; IIRC, Heritage even outsourced some of these beauty shots from time to time.&nbsp; I distinctly remember seeing some of Todd Pollock&#039;s photos in Heritage auctions.&nbsp; Wonder if [USER=17342]@blu62vette[/USER] could shed anymore light on Heritage&#039;s photography process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
