<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2147269, member: 73165&quot;]Most people are bad at taking pictures of coins.&nbsp; That&#039;s no surprise, because coins are hard to photograph.&nbsp; On the internet, you&#039;re never really buying the coin; you&#039;re buying the picture.&nbsp; If the picture of this coin hadn&#039;t included it being in a PCGS MS64 holder, I would have said it&#039;s probably a nice AU58, and therefore worth a shot at an AU price.&nbsp; But, the coin <i>is</i> in a PCGS MS64 holder, so that would give me a little more confidence to bid a stronger price on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only way you&#039;re going to be able to tell if it&#039;s truly MS or not (or if it&#039;s truly worth the price you paid) is to get it in hand and under a strong light.&nbsp; It&#039;s at <i>that</i> point that you should be buying the coin and not the holder (or, rather, keeping the coin and not the holder).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
