<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2496160, member: 56859&quot;]Having taken thousands of pictures of my coins (sometimes a hundred of just one coin, still without satisfaction), I am always finding that a given coin can look <i>extremely</i> different with minor differences in the photography conditions-- type of light, angle of light, camera settings, coin tilt, focus, and other factors contribute to the differences.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the seller&#039;s pictures and your pictures both look fine.&nbsp; The seller probably has a standard setup for imaging.&nbsp; His pictures have a reassuring consistency-- reassuring because you&#039;ll now have an idea of what his coins will look like in hand compared to his pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ve probably also noticed similar things with other sellers.&nbsp; CNG, for example.&nbsp; Their images tend to be a bit desaturated.&nbsp; There&#039;s nothing wrong with that; just factor it in to what the coin will probably look like when viewed in your hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no such thing as a perfect picture or the perfect viewing monitor.&nbsp; For sellers to cover all bases, they&#039;d need to post dozens of pictures of each coin, taken in different lights, different camera settings, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
