<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1876123, member: 112&quot;]Brandon, the reason you haven&#039;t seen me post pics of coins is because I quit collecting coins back in 2006, 5 years before you became a member here. But I have posted hundreds, if not thousands of pictures of coins, on this forum and most of the others too. Many on forums that don&#039;t even exist any more. And yes, I have spent more than my share of time studying, practicing, and practicing again, how to take coin pictures. I am rather well versed in the subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for my previous comments, they are quite true. I don&#039;t disagree with you that if an angled pic has glare that it will hide things. But a straight on pic with glare will hide things too. My point is that any picture can and will hide things, and none of them are any better than the other. Proof of this is that coins cannot be accurately graded based on pictures - because pictures, all pictures, hide things. Further proof is what I previously said, that the reason we are all taught to turn a coin under the light when examining it is so we can see those things that can only be seen from a certain angle. In other words, things you cannot see when looking straight on at the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you don&#039;t have to believe any of that, but I really don&#039;t see any way you can dispute it either. That&#039;s the neat thing about the truth, it remains to be the truth even when people don&#039;t be believe it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
