<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Denis Richard, post: 26756441, member: 112673&quot;]Speaking of comparing auction photos, and this is a little, or a lot, off-topic, but I had a unique opportunity last week. I was given a Pixodaros silver didrachm, minted in Halikarnassos, to photograph. My customer has sent me 5 sets of dealer and auction-house photos from previous sales of the same coin, which were part of his research. I have combined them all into one image below, including mine. Granted, three of them were shot with the coin encapsulated (NGC), but the other three were shot raw. I was surprised by the range in colour and contrast.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1708534[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My image is below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1708533[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The customer wrote, &quot; I’m pleased with the [images of the] Pixodaros stater – a combination of residue and not-great [dealer] photography kept that item affordable.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
