<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 366892, member: 3726"]You can't so to me that tells me to stay away from the auction, unless I get it really cheap and am prepared to eat the cost. As Mark Feld says - you can only form an opinion off the images you see. My rule is for ebay - if I can not tell from the image what I need to know about the coin(holdered or not), then I skip the auction. You can have two MS66 NGC graded cents and one has 0 eye appeal and the other is a beaut, but if you post lousy pictures I stay away from both auctions. Believe it or not, but there are some ugly coins in holders(PCGS, NGC, ANACS). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>OH - it also seems that every auction where I ask for better pictures the seller always tells me that is the best they can do. I have pretty much stopped asking and just skip the auctions. Something better will always come along.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
