<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1891601, member: 19463&quot;]This is an unfortunate truth.&nbsp; Would you expect it to be otherwise?&nbsp; We should consider that one reason photographers pay models a lot of money is that it is easier to make a beautiful image when you start with a beautiful subject.&nbsp; Perhaps we should try to capture the character of truth rather than making every coin look better than it is. Unfortunately, too many coins today are being butchered in cleaning and left with muted details and polished surfaces.&nbsp; Nothing bothers me more than to get a pretty coin in hand that I can&#039;t photograph.&nbsp; I can deal with the results of a poor coin but if I pay Hollywood Handsome prices for a coin I expect to be made to look like a good photographer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
