<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1212429, member: 12789&quot;]Dave M - believe you me, the reverse image thing has been discussed to death in various PM forums.&nbsp; For some reason LK doesn&#039;t see the need, doesn&#039;t want to &quot;waste&quot; bandwidth etc on it.&nbsp; Even image size was a bone to pick up until earlier this year, and if you just view the site without the viewer it still can be.&nbsp; Frankly I bid on the notes from this Memphis sale based on the enhanced images and not the regular images.&nbsp; I have also brought the matter up with Joel Shafer, but nothing happens on the reverse images.&nbsp; At least USA collectors got a treat when reverse images were posted for the Diamond Bar collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I admit, you get spoiled when you look at those large sized hi res images on HA, it becomes what you expect from all others.&nbsp; It pays with other places to have a friend on the inside that can send hi res images and info on lots - ie Spink.&nbsp; Kathy Lawrence, also a member here, is most helpful with providing info on HA lots.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I would have placed bids on some circulated West African notes, but I am buying them more for the reverse than the front - not seeing the reverse and the condition of the wear puts me off and I don&#039;t bid accordingly.&nbsp; There are some WA and Mali large denomination notes in circulated that I was interested in in these last several auctions.&nbsp; Unless they are uncirculated, it is a gamble.&nbsp; I trust LK is good with descriptions, but when you collect notes for one aspect of them - that part of the note has to be the best.&nbsp; When that subject is on the reverse, well what can you say?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
