   However, the owner says his photos more accurately reflect what the coin looks like in person…..soooooo…….

   In-hand, from almost all viewing angles, my photo conveys a substantially more accurate representation. And I personally much prefer the darker appearance over the heavily exaggerated colors in the Trueview.

   So based on the owner’s photo vs the True View, if you bought the coin from the True View and it looked like the owner’s photo when you received it, would you be disappointed or feel mislead?

   Probably. However, the color in the Trueview photos is way off base. For virtually every viewing angle, the coin is dark blue/grey.

   I thought 63 when I saw the original post, then scrolled down and saw 64. Cool looking coin, sort of a “Black Beauty” 🌚

    ye, it's hard to make out colors from a jail cell. :D Seriously had the TV been shown, most would not have gone below 62-63 (well, except @MsMorrisine )
