<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 6726664, member: 112&quot;]When it comes to the question of why this pic or why that pic, ya never really know about coin pics. Sure, somebody may be trying to pull the wool over your eyes. But at the same time taking quality, accurate pics of a coin is a skill, a skill that not a whole lot of people have. And, it is beyond extremely common that in order to show toning on a coin that the angles have to be just right - whether in a pic or viewing i hand. If ya don&#039;t look at just the right angle - you aint gonna see that toning, ya just aren&#039;t. And, it is also beyond extremely common that when somebody posts pics of a coin they are trying to show you the most flattering pics they can - even when all they wanna do is show you the coin - not selling it in other words, simply sharing, and maybe showing off a bit. And that just scratches the surface, there&#039;s all kinds of other things that could be involved.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yeah, learning how to interpret pictures is also a skill, and like taking pictures, not necessarily an easy skill to learn. But when you&#039;re buying online - it&#039;s all ya got. Which of course is why the mantra has always been - only buy coins you can see in hand - or, take your chances. And yes, you can always &quot;ask&quot; for more pics, but that doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;re gonna get any. And even if ya do get some, they may still not be what ya want - for any of the reasons I mentioned above.</p><p><br /></p><p>So in the end, you&#039;re pretty much stuck with - take your chances. But, when ya do - don&#039;t ever buy a coin online that doesn&#039;t have a return privilege. Because if ya do, and it doesn&#039;t, then you are stuck with it. </p><p><br /></p><p>And it&#039;s not gonna be the other guys fault, it&#039;s gonna be your fault - for going ahead and doing it anyway. Because you are responsible for your own actions - not somebody else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
