<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2103534, member: 1765&quot;]Grading from photos is difficult and imprecise.&nbsp; Grading proofs (and SMS coins) from photos is more difficult due to the more subtle nature of the defects.&nbsp; Grading proofs in grades 65 and higher from photos is further complicated by the fact that the defects are now quite small and hard to photograph.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Those are all easier than telling if conserving away a stain (which I agree is distracting) will result in a coin that would grade higher than what is already hard to ascertain from the picture.&nbsp; I would take this to James Sego at the next show he attends and get his opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
