COIN IMAGING: The good the bad and REALITY posted by The Artist's Collection

Oh, that's a nice coin! Really. It's pretty and has such beautiful colors!

 

Errr... under what source of illumination??? And, under what source of computer image software???

 

What's the bottom-line in coin imaging? >Reality, authenticity, actual condition, luster, surfaces, devices: but really only one: OBJECTIVE TRUTH! No enhancement; no twiddling with color, minimal sharpening. No screwing around!

 

Most of the time the defects are more attractive and interesting than a

pretty made-up face with lipstick! At least they are starting to be for me.

Your multiple posts without pictures sounds like a tirade. And a boring one at that.

 

You could have easily put everything in one post.

YES!,,,,,I've been a victim of such people. the coin looked absolutely beautiful',

from the photos,,,,however' when I got it in hand,,,,,No Way! I sent it right back

and waited for my refund,,,,Then' I told them what I thought about all this,,,it

was just a waste of my time. They said they used different lamps,,,moved the coin around / dropped in a lens or two' for a special effect,,,etc,,,etc,,,

 

Always make sure there's a full refund, before you buy at any auction.

 

take care,,,,Jim
