[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 2340343, member: 29751"]You are truly incorrigible. I just looked through the more than 200 PCGS or NGC graded 1877 IHCs on eBay that are currently for sale, or show up as having been recently sold. Approximately 70% of the coin images are of more than sufficient quality to determine the details of a circulated coin. Approximately 30% of the photos are what I would consider better quality than Heritage Auctions. I think Mr. Bowers is intelligent enough to know which pictures are good enough for grading. :bookworm: And, for the record, I never ignored anything about your comment on Rick Snow.
