<p>[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 985247, member: 26972"]I wonder though.. I think I have far more slabbed coins that look better in hand than the photographs depict. While this seller may have been trying to deceive, why make a giant deal about it? Just contact the seller and return the coin. This is the risk <b>you</b> take when buying from photos. I don't know how many slabbed coins this seller has listed, nor do I know the value of this coin compared to what you paid for it.. However, I do know how long it takes to photograph and upload and how the eBay pic manager destroys resolution. Do we really expect the seller to capture every little nuance on a certified coin? I know I don't. I think it is unreasonable, after all sellers cry about how much it costs to ship!! lol Where does - Take the good with the bad, factor into this. Here again, buy from pictures, you assume a certain risk, get over it and return, you are out $5 bucks.. big deal. </p><p><br /></p><p>For example - it is my goal to build a PCGS registry set for 50% of the posted value - all coins from eBay. Where else can you buy like that!?? I got this penny for in the mail yesterday for $35. I actually feel guilty - like I stole it! </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/1920dObverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
