So you think you can grade a coin with a pic?

Same coin, one's a scan, one's a camera pic. I'll say this, you can surely get an accurate feel for what the maximum grade might be. Figuring out the minimum grade is a little more tricky. It does get a little "easier" if you see enough pics and figure out how to interpret them. It really helps if you've seen a number of pics and coins of the poster of the pic in question.
