[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1496442, member: 26030"]I am with you Robec!!!! I have one to substantiate your point. Here is an iPhone photo of an 1886 Indian Cent (shot in indirect sunlight) vs. a TrueView. I can tell you that the iPhone photo is COMPLETELY RAW and not enhanced (post-processed) in any way (you can tell by the slab label color and my thumb color, which both look completely "normal".) A lot of collectors don't realize that when you see an "over the top" looking TrueView photo, they reflect "over the top" coins. Also most toned coins show different looks at various viewing and lighting angles. So a toned coin can take on tens or hundreds of different "looks" and what is captured in a photo is just one look.
