Since I do not have the coins there is nothing I can do to solve that issue. Thanks for looking. Edited by tpg22 11/03/2013 8:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tpg22 Pillar of the Community United States 919 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 7:53 pm I'm guessing with 50 page views and no guesses the photos must be bad. I think I'll remove this one in a little bit and try them again in a few weeks when the slabs arrive. Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff
FadeToBlack Pillar of the Community 1751 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 7:55 pm Grading XF-AU-Low MS coins is all about luster, and your imaging style shows zero luster. I'd head over to the photography forum, post your setup, and get some feedback on how to better showcase the luster of the coins you're showing us. Report this Post to the Staff
tpg22 Pillar of the Community United States 919 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 10:12 pm For those that saw the images and wondered, none of these were MS so luster was not much of an issue. I will be interested to watch other posts to see if people grade other coins that don't have pro photos. So far I have seen one already. Report this Post to the Staff
FadeToBlack Pillar of the Community 1751 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 10:47 pm Luster is still hugely important especially with something like WLH's, a series which can be marred by weak strikes. How is one to differentiate between a weak strike and wear without seeing the luster of the coin? Especially on coins that may have both wear and a weak strike, luster takes on even more importance. Just food for thought... Luster (or the absence of it) retains importance in the XF40-AU58 grading band... correct, not as much as the MS grades, but still a major part of grade determination.

tpg22 Pillar of the Community United States 919 Posts	Posted 11/04/2013 10:26 am The photos I posted were actually very representative of the actual coin. Maybe that should have been the question you asked before you attacked my style. Unlike most ebay sellers I do not add luster to my photos to try and get another dollar out of them.
