Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2905783, member: 112"]I pretty much thought that just about everybody was well aware that pictures of coins can hide and or show things that cannot be seen in other pictures of the exact same coin. I mean it's downright commonplace that you see this. Even when people post multiple pics of their coins here on CT it's common to see this or that, or not see this or that, in one pic or the other. I've probably posted these pics at least 20 times in various threads as examples of just how different a tiny, tiny change in the angle of the lighting can make a coin look. I took both sets of these pictures only minutes apart. I did not move the camera, and did not change even a single setting on the camera when I did so. The only thing I did was to lift the lights and this much - l ...... l   - literally the space between those 2 lines, about a half an inch. This is the outcome that tiny change produced.
