Heritages has the superior platform and I've spent a lot of money on their coins. Not once, did I ever receive a coin that I felt I had been duped on. Report this Post to the Staff

Fathead 5 Valued Member United States 294 Posts	Posted 03/06/2017 01:28 am Great Collections Auctions are pretty decent overall. The photos are more than adequate for me to determine whether to bid on this coin (I wouldn't, by the way, just because I don't like the coin). Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 03/06/2017 06:37 am MikeF- I cannot believe you think these are crap photos. Do you have any idea how incredibly difficult slabs are to photograph? Give it a try. Try to duplicate their crappy photos. IMO, they are the standard for slab images. Heritage? Meh. Nothing to get excited about. Whenever I buy from GC the coin I receive ALWAYS matches their photo- every time. I want you to show us one of YOUR slab photos. I'm sorry, but your assertion is ridiculous. Edited by Darth Morgan 03/06/2017 06:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
Ham1947 Pillar of the Community United States 1298 Posts	Posted 03/06/2017 07:25 am I had a similar issue with a prominent auction company, I won a nice 1835 Quarter Eagle. When I received the coin there were smudges on the reverse. I worked and worked on them, but they wouldn't come off. So I sent the coin to PCGS to have it put into a new holder. Here are 3 picks. First is the one from the auction company, next the coin when I received it, and finally the coin in it's new holder. Cost $53.45. Sorry about the last pic. The color is a bit off. And by the way, I see nothing wrong with GreatCollection's photos. Edited by Ham1947 03/06/2017 07:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
nss-52 Moderator United States 54282 Posts	Posted 03/06/2017 07:28 am I'd say 95% or more of the coin photos on ebay are worse than this example. It does take two clicks to see it at full size, but you then see a 1500 x 1954 sharply focused well lit image. I completely fail to see the problem with these photos. Is Great Collections a "picture site"? Edited by nss-52 03/06/2017 07:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 03/06/2017 6:43 pm With great difficulty, I can come close to reproducing the Heritage photos with my rig. It has everything to do with lighting and not so much with the quality of the camera. I have a new respect for anyone that can take these sort of pictures with this level of detail and contrast.
