<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1442658, member: 26030&quot;]I totally respect your efforts and opinions as well!&nbsp; Yes, the whole question of which &quot;look&quot; a colorfully toned coin should be captured and presented in a photo is a good one.&nbsp; Clearly, if you are a seller of a toned coin, you should always provide MULTIPLE photos or a video to show all of the looks to potential buyers.&nbsp; And if you are a buyer of a colorfully toned coin buying based on a single photo, make sure you have an air tight return policy so you can see (and tip) the coin in hand to evaluate for yourself.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a cool case of 1 coin with two DRASTICALLY different LOOKS presented in photos.&nbsp; Top image by Todd Pollock of BluCC Photos, bottom Phil Arnold of PCGS TrueView.&nbsp; I think (but I&#039;m not sure) that Todd shot this straight down, and Phil shot it tipped.&nbsp; Which is &quot;right&quot;?&nbsp; They BOTH are!!!&nbsp; It just depends on the lighting angles/conditions and the tipped (viewing) angle.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If I ever went to sell this coin I would provide both photos and possibly even a video to show the various looks.&nbsp; If I provided just one photo (either just the top or just the bottom, I am not telling the whole story).</p><p><br /></p><p>Certainly when I buy a toned coin, I always expect them to have a multitude of &quot;looks&quot; and it&#039;s why in-hand evaluation is a MUST (In other words, never buy a &quot;No Returns Accepted&quot; toned coin based on a single photo).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1886a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1886b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
