<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3166713, member: 56859&quot;][USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] , I love your coin but prefer the Forum pictures... and Forum pictures are usually not very flattering.&nbsp; Your images are&nbsp; lit differently/unevenly with very oblique lighting from the ~11:00 position.&nbsp; It enhances the relief and downplays the surfaces (although I&#039;d prefer light from ~1:00).&nbsp; I&#039;m sure your images would look closer to how I&#039;d see it in hand for a couple of reasons.&nbsp; One, my near vision isn&#039;t as good as it used to be so I don&#039;t notice minor surface issues.&nbsp; Two, because in hand I tilt the coin to and fro and end to hold it such that the lighting is oblique... for the very reasons you shot the coin that way:&nbsp; it makes it look better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, [USER=87924]@Hellbent[/USER], please don&#039;t think Forum was trying to do anything tricky with their images (nor was Orfew).&nbsp; Like many reputable dealers, Joe shows images which convey the most information about the coin.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t always the most flattering though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
