<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 3639399, member: 84744"]That's a very interesting wrinkle! Thanks, Ed.

I guess we are pretty safe with <i>crappy</i> photographs, eh? Plus most modern coins, inferior 2D products that they are. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] might disagree that only "special" lighting or focus stacking would qualify a photo for tender treatment. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>With auction or dealer photos, I think either you need to own the coin, or it's ethically required to name the company.
