<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 763154, member: 3726"]Well - I agree in once sense, that is that it looks like a struck thru coin on that spot on the head. To me it is clearly visible in the pictures - but I was looking for it. So I see nothing to complain about on the auction. Also I do not think tpg's drop grades based on that - someone can correct me if I am wrong. So I do my best to look at the coin in an auction 3 or 4 times before I bid on it - I mean I might look at it three or 4 days in a row just to make sure I see it correctly. And yes I have missed some things on a few coins when just viewing pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes auction houses do need their pictures to be as close as possible to the coin. This will increase the bidding on the coin. Heritage takes the best pictures in my opinion and DLRC the worst. The best possible pictures will earn them more money, but I do not think any of them intentionally juice the photo's. And in none of this am I referring to in ebay sellers. So better pictures, more money for the auction house.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
