[ATTACH] All of the worst nicks in the OP's pics are visible in the auction image. You just have to know what you're looking for.
That is one helluva piece of VAMming. Only the denticle impression touching the rear of the arrowhed is visible; the rest are obliterated by the...
Spectacular. No, I can't find it either.
Not accepting returns will severely limit the number of people willing to bid on your offerings, and leave you more likely to receive Negatives,...
Those were shot by a 4S; I know the 5's to be as good but lack data on the 6's and 7's (anecdotal evidence indicates the 6's are usable). I'd hate...

This one's a later die state, O-105a, but it'll give you an idea:...
This is a middle die state of O-105 - you can see the characteristic obverse cracks. One starts on the 8, through the second 1, and curves through...
These were shot with an iPhone (no attachments) by someone who dedicated himself to learning how to maximize its' capabilities: [ATTACH]...
I would handle it however I felt like, and if it's raw you're darn tootin' I'm gonna handle it. :) Unless you are a person who has genuine...
