It's always fun when someone wakes up and says, " I feel like posting something stupid to get attention"

As a photographer, it is my opinion that those images are rendered by a computer. No cameras were involved in their creation.

Thank you. I agree.

I don't know why the Mint doesn't use photos, but they just don't.

I'm going to guess that it's easier. They've already got 3d models that they can pose any way they want. For photos, you have to set up the lights, position the product, get bad reflections, redo, go into PS for some post processing, etc. As a photographer, I say "use renderings"

It's probably something like that. It definitely allows them to post "renderings" before they've actually made the product. But it does end up being less informative than it could for people who aren't regular Mint buyers. The proofs, for example, as I mentioned above, have no mirrors and look matte. The enhanced uncirculated looks the same as the uncirculated.

I don't think that was ever the point. They don't photograph anything as the point.

And you know this without citing any evidence at all. Only that you think this and nothing else.

The evidence is that there are no photos on the Mint website. It would actually be easier for you to prove the opposite. Find ONE. You haven't been able to. I pointed you to the fact that all 86 proof items on the website are mirror-less artist renderings. Ieven posted some of the images. I provided evidence. You are the one who has not. Find me one photo. Should be easy if you think it's true.

Want some more evidence:

I love this series ❤️

Whoa, what an abundance of eyecandy!
