[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2300865, member: 20480"]Thanks for the compliment. I try hard to get good photos. I don't think PCGS intentionally loses detail. We all value certain coin attributes differently, and have different imaging goals, setups, and post-processing practices. On one coin I might pay more attention to eliminating slab glare than to getting color exactly right. On another I might focus more on unusually strong detail in an area that seldom strikes up well, at the expense of not sharply defining marks in another area of the coin, etc. There's nothing like holding the coin in one's hand. Expecting images to replace that is unrealistic, but we do the best we can, within practical limitations of equipment, experience and available time. - Mike at ToughCOINS[/QUOTE]
