<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 2407542, member: 7638&quot;]No expert here, but when you are collecting Au gold coins the amount of remaining luster is key, and you cannot estimate that readily from static photos. Also, many of these coins have been dipped and stripped in an effort to make them more attractive to graders/collectors, and that can also be hard to judge from photos.&nbsp; </p><p>Before spending money I would read posts by &quot;Boosibri&quot; on the PCGS forum,and visit Doug Winter&#039;s site and read his blogs and study his inventory.&nbsp; </p><p>Unless you are buying from someone like Winter, you have a high risk of purchasing a problem coin or low end coin from photos alone. </p><p>As to the coin posted above, I have no opinion as I can&#039;t get an idea of how much luster is remaining.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
