<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2745541, member: 77413&quot;]While we certainly have strayed from the original topic of toned coins, I admit to a fascination with the discussion about GSC. I think it deserves its own thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>While I don&#039;t have time at the moment to set this up with a proper introduction, I think many of us (and newer collectors) would benefit from a precise study of GSC&#039;s photos compared to the actual coins received. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have bought from them about four times now, and I downloaded their photos for each purchase. If I was disappointed when I saw the coin, the fault was not with the photos, but with my ability to interpret them. The information was all there for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>We could make this another opportunity for teaching. We could compare their photos detail by detail to the actual coins, using our own photos with varying lighting and exposures. </p><p><br /></p><p>We should also discuss the differences in their photos on different devices. I think their photos are consistent, accurate, and not doctored, if for no other reason than that&#039;s too time-consuming for their volume of sales. (I would use a fixed setup and just pop each coin in front of the camera for a quick shot and go on to the next.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I think education is key here; we also need to learn what we are talking about by examining and proving the accusations that are made.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
