[QUOTE="acsf89, post: 1007405, member: 27264"]Sometimes sellers on ebay post pictures that are pretty much unreliable and that does not give a coin [B]justice[/B]....I'd rather see it in person first but.... I got two coins that I would like to compare with you... the first picture was an [U]1886 morgan dollar[/U] that I purchased for [U]$23.99[/U]...in the illustration...the first pic shows wonderful elements of natural rainbow toning....but pretty much the colors look muted (see example below) [ATTACH]97589.vB[/ATTACH] it doesnt look much, but when I got it in person.... the colors were [B]amazing[/B]...I too could not capture the [U]vivid colors[/U] on the coin....and the grade looks much higher that what it was suggested...it was listed as [B]AU-50[/B] (see example below) [ATTACH]97590.vB[/ATTACH] and the second coin that id like to compare is a [B]1908 Barber Half Dollar[/B]...and I purchased it for [U]$20.00[/U] again...its list picture makes it look like its surface looks odd...and that again...it looks very dull and has no luster to it.. (see example below) [ATTACH]97594.vB[/ATTACH] also the list grade was [B]VG+[/B]...when I received the coin, it was very nice....similar to the pic but in my opinion the surface looks [U]original/untampered[/U]...again the list seems wrong with the grading.... (see example below) [ATTACH]97595.vB[/ATTACH] I'm not no top-notch numismatist or nor am I a beginner... I'm only giving suggestions about people [B]buying/bidding[/B] on ebay...since there are alot of [U]great deals[/U] out there... and sometimes...you can be [I]lucky[/I] like me and get coins for way below their estimated prices.... P.S. when you do bid...research the seller 1st and look at the person's items for sale to get an overview... there are alot of [U]"non-legit"[/U] (not-real) sellers that have [B]100%[/B] feedbacks but that's because they delete their neg feeds and make up pos feeds.... just thought i'd share that with you... have fun and happy hunting [B]-acsf89[/B][/QUOTE]
