[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2007763, member: 20480"]I have had numerous customers initially shy away from a coin because of a flaw that was quite evident in a large, well-focused image, only to return, buy the coin, and ultimately be very happy that the flaw was very difficult to pick out on the life-size coin. I understand both perspectives, but in my mind, the customer is always right. To be forewarned is to be forearmed . . . from the customer's perspective, a dealer should provide as much pertinent information about the subject coin as he / she reasonably can before the customer's purchase. Deliberately providing substandard photos definitely seems misleading, especially if the photos are not very consistent in quality with those of other coins offered by the seller . . . bear that in mind, and check the seller's other coins to figure out if the photos of the coin you are considering seem intentionally poor. - Mike[/QUOTE]
