<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 3323310, member: 83956&quot;]A question from one still new to the world of non-eBay auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am interested in a coin in the Baldwin&#039;s of St. James&#039;s, Auction 28. It’s described in a listing through Sixbid, but there’s no photo. I went to the Baldwin&#039;s site and even downloaded the catalog, but it’s not pictured.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I assume that not all auction houses photograph every coin? I suspect that’s how it was done even a few years ago, before digital photography changed everything. I just can’t imagine bidding $300 on a coin, sight unseen, but perhaps that’s a testament to my penury.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps Baldwin’s expects the real traffic to be on the floor where all lots can be viewed. I am just pig-ignorant of this world.</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I missing something, or are online bidders just expected to roll the dice on unseen coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
