<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BNB Analytics, post: 767489, member: 20117&quot;]I just learned after speaking with an HA representative for a half hour yesterday that if a Heritage coin being auctioned is worth in the low $1000&#039;s (ie $2000,1500,etc) and not a top tier coin, they will more than likely be subjected to being scanned and not digital photo taken. You can see the white background of the flatbed scanner if you look behind the clear plastic in the PCGS slabbed coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why my 3 legger(lot 293 of auction 1132) looked better than it did on HA&#039;s page.. Because the lumination of the flatbed increased its lighting by 5x or more.. When I got the coin(although still gorgeous) did not have that white buttery look like the photo on Heritage gave off.&nbsp; Same thing I bet happened with the gold toned 3 legger that went for $1725 on Oct. 24th of this year.. I think someone paid more than they should have for possibly a less detailed less bright coin than what the picture made it out to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a little note for anyone who bids on Heritage&#039;s coins worth in the low thousands.. Don&#039;t trust the picture, if you really are uncertain about the coin&#039;s color, ask for another picture to be taken (and make sure it&#039;s taken by digital camera) if they have the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>bnb[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
