vonigohcr Pillar of the Community Canada 665 Posts	Posted 03/07/2018 08:46 am Hi; I saw this ebay listing and decided to look up the NGC reference. The pictures on the NGC site look different... The fields look fantastic on ebay but there are hairlines on the NGC site. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1948-Canada...AOSwIhtameS9 Is this an artifact of a harsh photo on the NGC site and flattering photo on ebay or is this a potential fake. I was surprised that the BIN price is less than I expected it to be. Report this Post to the Staff

doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 03/07/2018 11:15 am Watch for the dreaded ' ebay tilt' with ebay pictures, as surface imperfections can be masked. Especially when the coin is brilliant white. Report this Post to the Staff
Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 03/07/2018 12:34 pm Its not the camera tilt, but the light tilt. Hairlined coins cannot be photographed with lighting at a high angle. You can take the picture straight on, but the lights need to come in low or indirect. Report this Post to the Staff
