<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3632451, member: 15309&quot;]My problem with Heritage photos is that they wash out the luster even on coins that have great luster, making it nearly impossible to tell when a coin actually has subdued luster.&nbsp; To me, the whitish appearance of the coin indicates a milky patina that almost always results in a satin luster profile.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage photographs hundreds of coins per day and they have to use a cookie cutter photography method that provides efficiency and productivity.&nbsp; As such they use bright diffused lights that accurately show surfaces but don’t always flatter coins with exceptional luster, color, or eye appeal.&nbsp; You really need to have experience on how to interpret them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
