<p>[QUOTE="susanlynn9, post: 19681, member: 1258"]Pennycase,</p><p>Large, clear pictures are the most important aspect of any coin auction. In addition to that, take the time to completely describe the coin, even if you think it's clear in the pictures. That includes all of the positives as well as the drawbacks. Sometimes there are things that a magnified digital picture will pick up that is barely noticeable on the coin. Don't be afraid to say that. By the same token, your coin may have gorgeous toning with luster that looks flat in the picture. State that in the auction. We have had coins that, no matter what we do, we haven't been able to capture really nice golden toning and it looks flat in the picture. (I think we may have finally fixed the lighting issue and corrected that). Also, when we have listed cleaned/polished coins, we put cleaned or polished right in the title bar. Buyers like honesty. As long as you are open about what you are selling, there is a buyer for every type of coin (even cleaned ones.) I would like to know your eBay ID so I can look at your auction. Who knows, I may bid on it myself <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
