<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 8182595, member: 74624"]One problem with guessing the grade using sellers photos is that the coin in hand may show blemishes that aren't in the photos. People selling a coin tend to find the best lighting/filters to make their coin look best. Last fall I posted some images I took of a couple raw proof Seated Liberty coins I was sending to PCGS for grading. I asked for peoples opinions and in general the numeric value was a point higher than what I got. Only one member suggested the coin could get a deep cameo grade, which it did (this member is probably one of the most knowledgeable and experienced). The quarter definitely had fine die polish lines in the obverse fields which kept the numeric grade lower (64). However, the PCGS True View images don't show any of the die polish lines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
