After someone else agreed with me that these pics weren't that great, I sent an email to the website asking for clearer pictures. They responded that the pictures looked perfectly clear to them. Is it just me? https://www.crcoins.com/coin.asp?id=8183 https://www.crcoins.com/coin.asp?id=8029
Not blurry.. I think the lighting is weird.. light source is coming from the bottom and across the coin
What I don't like is that the photos were taken at an angle. It is very easy to hide problems with certain lighting configurations. Chris
Clear enough for me to see that the coins is not a MS-63 as they claim and that their price is way too high. It looks like a cleaned AU to me.
I think they downsized them with a photo optimizer. Another forum requires it on all pics posted to save space on the server and it can turn crisp, high quality images ever so slightly blurry. I bet the killer photo analysis skills of @SuperDave may agree
The photos are a bit washed out. Could be hiding something. For that kind of money I'd want to view the coin in hand.
Dude keeps telling me they look fine on his Mac, that it's probably a resolution setting on my monitor, and those are the best pictures they can provide. Something definitely doesn't smell right.
If he can't provide photos showing luster, he shouldn't expect to get MS63 money for the coin. I'm with @Kirkuleez. BTW, I'm on a Mac, too.
They look like they are taken at a slight angle with a single light source and they are slightly out of focus...
Why waste your time arguing with this guy? I don't like what I see... not at all, and for that kind of money, there had better be some sort of visual warm fuzzy happening. $600 is plenty enough, especially with something like this, for any dealer worth his salts to provide a potential buyer with quality tools upon request.
So you guys who think the photos aren't blurry... you can look at CoinZip's post a few above this and NOT get a headache? These are MS63 pics from PCGS Photograde for comparison. Definitely NOT blurry.
Well the one you are comparing it to isn't a 63. His pics aren't really blurry but they are the type of pics you use to hide surface issues
An iPhone can easily outdo that. Bet the guy's knife couldn't draw blood either. But he probably thinks it's sharp.
If you do not think these 2 photos are out of focus, please make an appointment with an ophthalmologist soon ...
Heck, it's obvious on my phone which doesn't resolve in HD. I don't even want to look at it at 2560x1440 stuffed into 27" on my PC monitor.
I took this with my iPhone through a slab with a single desk lamp and it beats those images. Clearly they are hiding something.
