<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 25670161, member: 36248&quot;]I think what I love about TrueViews / GreatPhoto is that they are so large and so detailed, you can see everything perfectly (well at least from that one angle).&nbsp;&nbsp; The downside of course, is that every flaw is magnified 30x!&nbsp; &nbsp; So the pixel-peepers like you and me and a few others, we can see these flaws and just totally write off a coin.&nbsp; But on a coin that is this small, the area you are talking about is just plain tiny, and I think overall its doesn&#039;t detract enough to warrant a no-sticker if the coin is otherwise very pleasing and appropriately graded according to TPG and CAC.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes when I get consumed with those super high rez photos, I got to remind myself, back out of the 30x zoom, look at the coin overall, is it nice or not overall?&nbsp;&nbsp; Then baring any serious issues discovered while pixel-peeping, or pet-peeves of mine like rim damage, I usually talk myself into bidding.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Doing some rough math here:</p><p><br /></p><p>17.9mm diameter of the Liberty Seated Dime = 67.65 pixels, at least according to internet.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; GreatPhotos are natively 4000 x 2000 pixels.</p><p><br /></p><p>So If we take the height of pixel (2000) and say the coin itself take up about 95% of the image height, we are at 1900 pixels.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>1900 pixels / 67.65 pixels (the coin real life sized estimate) = 28</p><p><br /></p><p>So the coin Reverse, on my 27-inch monitor, at 100% size, is ~28x the size of the real coin.&nbsp; And then you ZOOM in, and forget about it.&nbsp; It could be 50x!</p><p><br /></p><p>So, my point being, we need to keep the actual size of the coin in perspective when pixel peeping so we don&#039;t lose sight of &quot;forest for the trees&quot;.&nbsp; Something which I am very prone to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
