<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 2362896, member: 73489&quot;]If I am buying a slabbed coin -- even bullion -- I want to know if it&#039;s the actual coin.&nbsp; Because to be honest, I have since found out that either by lighting or filters or whatnot some of the better photographers are able to really accentuate the <b><span style="color: #ff8000">gold look</span></b>&nbsp; on some of the coins I have been looking at. </p><p><br /></p><p>I saw 10 that looked all alike and then 1 that looked super-shiny and PL, and I have since probably realized it&#039;s not the way that the coin will actually look in my hand (which was the only reason to pay a few hundred extra dollars).&nbsp; So I didn&#039;t buy it.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Just got a Reverse Proof Buffalo </b>and while I like the coin the difference in appearance between the fields and devices is not as stark -- blackish -- as it was on the photo.&nbsp; I&#039;m now wondering if those regular Proofs have fields that are milky-black, too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
