<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ice, post: 916358, member: 17129&quot;]I make it a point to almost never give a grade using pictures.&nbsp; The reason is that looking a photo&#039;s or scans of a coin makes it very hard to give a grade.&nbsp; Many times someone will say I see this in the field or a lack of luster and the owner of the coin will say it doesn&#039;t look like that in hand.&nbsp; We have the people who say it&#039;s been cleaned.&nbsp;&nbsp; Many times I&#039;ve seen people get defensive over opinions (1883 Morgan Proof?).&nbsp; People see little kings and letters that are not there imprints of old us coins.&nbsp; You can use photoshop to change the color of a coin.&nbsp; So I just don&#039;t grade coins by pictures it&#039;s way too hard and you could easily be 3-4 grades or more off.&nbsp; Ice[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
