1949 S LWC You Vs. ANACS

It's not just you, it's everyone. The high res photos are like a magnifying glass, they show TOO much and tend to emphasize every little flaw which can also be promoted by lighting.

It's a good thing we don't buy pictures of coins, we buy coins. They tend more often than not to look much different in hand.

There's a reason no professional grader pulls out a 10x magnifier first thing when examining a coin. Almost all the grade comes from eye appeal. Something that's very difficult to convey with pictures.
