[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1104538, member: 2972"]Photos are very good for judging minute problems with coins. However, you have to learn just how many of these are OK for a particular grade, or else the tendency is to overgrade. Photos typically do a poor job of showing luster -- and it's luster that affects a grade more than just about any other factor in AU/MS grades. Coins are best graded, in my experience, by unaided eye -- then confirmed through closer inspection via a loupe or photograph.[/QUOTE]
