<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1374863, member: 13650&quot;]The photos posted in this thread are just the tip of the iceberg of what dishonest sellers can do with pictures to make coins look better.&nbsp;&nbsp; Proofs are hard to photograph.&nbsp; That&#039;s a given.&nbsp; And many sellers aren&#039;t great photographers.&nbsp; But some of them know all the tricks using angles, colored lighting, low lighting.&nbsp;&nbsp; You just have to know what a good quality picture is supposed to look like.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can evaluate the rest of them from there once your expectations have been set.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m glad the OP was not offended by the advice given here.&nbsp; All this is about is getting some experience under your belt.&nbsp; Besides that, you didn&#039;t pay much over melt.&nbsp; If you get anything that remotely looks like a Franklin half, you didn&#039;t lose much and the seller isn&#039;t retiring any earlier.&nbsp; This is a cheap learning experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
