<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1875950, member: 112"]Sorry, but that is a myth. Unfortunately sometimes straight on pictures do the very same thing. It all depends on the marks and where they are. Sometimes marks, breaks in the luster, etc. can only be seen at an angle. That is why we are taught to roll a coin under the light in order to properly examine it and or grade it. You simply cannot see everything there is to see on a coin by looking at it from only one angle.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is also often impossible to see luster or certain toning with perfectly straight on pictures.
