<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3007917, member: 92655"]I made my first high grade long distance purchase last month. I dealt with a reputable dealer that I had made a trip two years ago to visit. I was fully confident in them. I needed a quality Type 1 SLQ. I prefer more of a blast white coin. At my age my eyes need the definition. The first photo is what was represented to me by the dealer. The second photo that I just took is more representative of the piece. It is dark with an unsightly toning that is not at all discernable in the dealers photo..... I don't feel that I was taken advantage of or misled. I didn't specify blast white in my dealings. I do know it was an expensive lesson for me purchasing long distance coins..... Anyway, I said all this as a statement on the photography that we base these purchases on. It's hard to make an accusation that a piece was not properly represented. In effect you are calling a person a liar. I suppose it is the risk that comes with long distance buying.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]745513[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]745514[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
