PCGS Trueview vs Myview

PCGS XF40 straight grade. Trueview vs my pictures. It’s funny, my pictures represent the look of the coin much better than the one from PCGS. Anyone else find this in other coins?

    The bottom picture is mine. The top is PCGS. Same coin.

    @Vetter it looks like you were using some unsupported type of image
    I had to quote your post, download, save to jpeg, and reupload for it to work.

    The Buffalo appears to have sustained a gunshot wound.

    It appears that the TrueView was shot with axial lighting which will capture luster and sometimes a color that's different than expected. I imagine you used a desk lamp or LED light for your photo?

    Your pictures look better than the trueview if I look at them on my iPhone, but on my larger iPad your picture gets distorted a bit and looks blurry. When Mrs_Spud bought me my larger iPad for Christmas, all of a sudden I didn’t like some of my pictures anymore. Before I just had an iPad mini and my iPhone pictures looked great on that, but a bit more enlargement made some of them look similar you yours.

    Wow. I would have thought it was 2 different coins.

    I like the TrueView image better, as it picks up the details much better.

    Usually, but then I spend more time taking my pictures.

    @Vetter.... I actually prefer your pictures in this case. Seems more natural and without the darkness. Cheers, RickO

    Heck, yes! PCGS likes darkness.
