<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2211793, member: 36230"]Where in THIS thread did I call YOUR images "iffy"? I didn't, and in fact said NOTHING about YOUR photos, but did observe that those you posted, taken from the linked ebay listing, are just that. Perhaps we should clarify the meaning of the word "iffy" as thus far you've taken it to mean "altered" and pretty much anything other than what it actually does. Here you go....</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i.word.com/idictionary/iffy" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i.word.com/idictionary/iffy" rel="nofollow">http://i.word.com/idictionary/iffy</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And for emphasis...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/iffy" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/iffy" rel="nofollow">http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/iffy</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, please go back and take another look at the seller's photos. Notice the excessive glare blocking out much of the prime focal areas? Now take a look through some of this seller's other photos, taking particular note of the lighting angles used, and see if you notice anything in common. Also, with your great coin imaging experience, ask yourself if the photos, or even this general style is ideal, and if it makes sense that this is the best that someone with 15,000 feedback can provide his potential customers with. You know as well as I do that they leave much to be desired. This isn't to say that there IS anything hidden behind the glare, but just that it makes making a reasonable and proper judgement call "iffy" (UNCERTAIN). </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, are there any other "issues", perhaps ones that really stick out on an otherwise white coin? You're the self-implied "expert", Rich; these are issues/concerns that foolish little me shouldn't have to point out to someone of your caliber. With that said, the cost of the coin was at, or at least close to certified 63 money (especially for one so willing to wade through thousands of a single date/mint), so taking this along with everything else both said and seen into consideration, it is not at all unfair, unreasonable, unjust, or trollish to call, in context, the value afforded by this purchase into question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
