<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1675717, member: 19463&quot;]From a dealer&#039;s standpoint it is better to have photos that don&#039;t look better than the coin in hand.&nbsp; You get fewer returns with nasty notes accusing you of cheating.&nbsp; Most coins look better in hand simply because you wiggle them or move your head to see the coin to a better effect.&nbsp; Way too many photographers just flop the thing down and shoot without adjusting lights or angles but most people wiggle coins in the hand without thinking about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of my coins look better in hand because photos tend to be so large that any minor scratch becomes a gouge and a tiny reflection destroys detail which we all know is really there.&nbsp; I agree most dealers are terrible photographers but I prefer it that was as long as I can diagnose their photos and guess what the coin will look like in hand.&nbsp; If all photos were beautiful, someone else would buy the coins before I saw them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
