<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 4638371, member: 92212&quot;]100 likes! Succinct, clear, and spot on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Part (merely a portion; not all; just one single part) of my desire for a listing image to accurately reflect what a coin looks like &quot;in hand&quot; pertains to color. I have purchased over 1000 coins online in the past 15 years. (Not group lots. Just individual, one-at-a-time coin purchases.) Upon arrival, when the coin is then &quot;in (my) hand&quot;, the coin is <u>often</u> a different color than the listing image.&nbsp; Sometimes a slight difference. Sometimes a complete different hue.</p><p><br /></p><p>As just one example: Below are two images of the same coin which I purchased.&nbsp; One image is the actual listing picture. The other image is the result of my own photography in which I endeavored (and succeeded) to VERY closely match the actual patina coloration. It doesn&#039;t matter which image is which. The point is that one image accurately corresponds to reality, and one image does not -- yet the two indicate significantly different hues (only one of which is how the coin truly looks &quot;in hand&quot;).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1146458[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
