If I stand up, I can see "black circle" pictures fairly well on my monitor.
Don, you are taking all the fun out of it.
I NEVER look at coins in online auctions without my graphics editor loaded, and I always drag the image to the program for a good look under magnification. When I look at one where the color is funky, I also color balance. It helps sometimes.

If a "VF details" coin is corroded, cleaned, horribly scratched and almost everything else, it should usually NOT be worth problem-free F-12 money. Bad enough, someone would be lucky to get G-4 money for it.
On the other hand, there can be a very minor cleaning, a small scratch, a minor recolorations or other single, small defect on an "VF details" coin that's "net F-12" in a series where F-12 goes for $300 and VF-20 goes for $900. In this case a "net grade" is probably considerably *less* than what someone would pay for an ALMOST problem-free VF that got bagged for a minor defect. (In principle, they should net this as F-15, and I guess sometimes they do, but it's usually a full-grade deduction.)
Another outstanding HNAI photo. I think Heritage is great, but hope that if I continue bashing their photos they will fix the problem.
