<p>[QUOTE="zekeguzz, post: 815576, member: 15455"]I would prefer to see what a coin is really like so I can grade it. I scan for this reason. It is disappointing many more times finding digs and bag marks, etc. that weren't spotted using a 10x magnifier. Proofs specially show poor cameo with non cameo spots and smears.</p><p>But when you scan a proof 69 or 70 grade and after digital editting you can't find ANYTHINGwrong then you get that " ole good feelin" that you've got a great coin there. And it will sell itself through your knowledge of that and your enthusiasm of knowing how good it is.</p><p>But for realistic beauty and luster a photo cannot be beat. Detail is also very good. Camera = 10, scanner = 8.5.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
