<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 3200734, member: 73995&quot;]There is one thing I know, And that is that I have looked at a lot of coins in hand.&nbsp; And have never bought a coin from photos. I have looked at a lot of high grade Franklins Raw and slabbed. I have seen this look many a time (with out the toning) and there is no doubt in my mind that the coin photo&#039;d.&nbsp; The so called 67+ Will show those contact and well disguised planchet flaws hidden below that awesome looking toned coin. </p><p>The problem is that it should never have been graded a 67 in the first place.</p><p>As for the one in the Auction I posted. It has amazing luster and at least half the flaws, And it sure doesn&#039;t have the big gouge above the temple. </p><p>I would no doubt pick the second coin for being closer to the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no doubt that the coin photo&#039;d is a beautiful coin. And if in the business I probably wouldn&#039;t hesitate to sell it myself. I have no beef with Legend. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I do feel is that this coin will take a loss when it is time to sell it.</p><p>Unless maybe it is held for a few generations. </p><p>It&#039;s already getting a pedigree.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=76863]@baseball21[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
