<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 986114, member: 26302&quot;]Amen. Too many coins are condemned/verified based on photos. In hand, looking at in at different angles, is the only way to condemn AT or a forgery unless there is clear evidence. Lets not forget how easily photos can be intentionally or unintentionally distorted. I can take any toned coin I own and play with color meters and everyone would insist it is AT, even though I have owned it since it was new.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the OP was unhappy with the coin, he should send it back. Its a risk and cost of buying online via a photo. I used to send coins back in mail order days if I was unhappy. It was a cost of purchasing, nothing more of less. This is where grading came from, so that two people could get an idea of the level of preservation of a coin without photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
