<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JrCoin, post: 583614, member: 18390&quot;]I don&#039;t think the seller manipulated anything, that&#039;s just direct flash and it will lighten up any coin.&nbsp; It will also make a nice patina look more washed out...this is why I prefer buying from my local shop.&nbsp; Even there the quality of light will differ.&nbsp; I&#039;ve caught myself walking out of a store checking out my change in the bright sun thinking I got some nice BU cents only to see more of the flaws in the more subdued light of an indoor light source.&nbsp; Photographing coins, like anything, takes some skill and know-how.&nbsp; If the dealer is willing to take it back he&#039;s straight up, I personally think you got a great coin with alot of detail based on the photograph.&nbsp; Maybe in hand it looks like it&#039;s been cleaned but I think you got a solid deal for a coin over 150 years old![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
