<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhoggman, post: 419409, member: 13987&quot;]My local coinshop does not have the greatest material on display, I think he sells most of his nice stuff to other dealers...</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways this forces me to buy most stuff off of the interent.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have spent many thousands of dollars buying coins from online auctions, and I have yet to buy a coin on the interent that looked the same in the picture as it did in my hand. In my opinion it is nice to at least have a picture, but you have not truly seen the coin until you have it in front of you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will say that photos and scans usually tend to hide attributes of a coin for obvious reasons, but they can also take so much away. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would much rather have a nice place to purchase coins that I could actually view. For now I would rather pay &quot;greysheet&quot; for graded coins on the internet, than raw, over graded coins and over priced coins from a grumpy old man. </p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever you do don&#039;t pay PCGS Price Guide prices for anything that you have only seen a picture of. Most of the people I deal with look right through the holder, and focus their attention on the &quot;PECUNIARIUS&quot; within.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
