<p>[QUOTE="dannic113, post: 1362583, member: 35203"]My take is the first picture is to show bag marks more than anything else. He's trying to make you grade it into MS63+ than say the coin has blue or purple toning. I would use the second and third pics as a closer representation of the toning. Plus toning is sometimes subtle enough to not show up especially with a flash. I'm also concerned that in the item specs section he has a grade of MS63+. Ebay changes policies at a drop of a hat but last I looked you couldn't put anything in the box without it asking for a cert. # and this is not slabbed it's raw so it may or may not be a MS63. Buyer beware if you can't grade. I would also be asking if he means it would grade MS63 with a + for it almost made 64 or he really doesn't know so lets say this grade or better. If you want to take a chance I wouldn't pay more than bid maybe even try for less than bid but on a sight unseen coin price because you can't say without doubt from the pics. Plus prices seem high as he has a 21-D with monster tone it's got wear around the ear and a huge fingerprint on the obverse and is asking $99 for it ouch it's AU at best probably XF. On the plus side he doesn't claim that one to be UNC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
