<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1876601, member: 29751&quot;]You continue to perpetuate a fallacy of logic.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that no single photo can portray all attributes of a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I also believe that a straight-on image is the most useful of all combinations and permutations of tilting, etc. to give the most accurate single-image portrayal of a coin.&nbsp; And, I know several professional coin photographers who agree with me.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is <b><u>nothing</u></b> inconsistent or conflicting in those two statements.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now with regard to the types of coins posted by the OP in this thread ,the tilting in no way really matters.&nbsp; The coins are well circulated, and any angle of view will make that clear.&nbsp; But, as cmp9ball said, for modern coins, particularly those in UNC, tilted coin images tends to hide more issues than the corresponding straight-on images.&nbsp; Just because you disagree with that statement (IMO as a matter of polemics) doesn&#039;t mean that it isn&#039;t true almost all the time.&nbsp; Again, for modern, particularly UNC coins, the least misleading coin image is one that is straight-on.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, as seems to always be the case when I try to clarify that you have made a silly over-reaching statement, you twist things around to suit your needs.&nbsp; So be it.&nbsp; We will have to agree to disagree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
