<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 1633601, member: 44357&quot;]I agree - I was quite disappointed by the Goldberg pictures. Not only are they low resolution, but they have a strange green hue on the edges. That being said, I lot-viewed this in person and had two very well known dealers do the same for me and it is most definitely genuine with intact edges. Incidentally, there was one fake discovered very late in this Goldberg auction, a Trajan aureus, so it certainly isn&#039;t guaranteed even at large auction houses of prominent collections.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the other images, I took some and some are professional photos. The ones that I took that came out well in my eyes are the Distater, Hadrian aureus, Ptolemy IV octadrachm, bar cent, and 1808/7 $5. The Antoninus Pius photo is really the gem of the bunch in terms of accuracy - as you&#039;ve described, it really captures the surfaces well. In-hand, they have a nice reflective luster as well which I&#039;ve been trying to capture myself without success.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the compliments, everyone!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
