[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2585829, member: 77413"]Now that the original poster has been thoroughly chastised, I'll volunteer for my licks, too. I have been watching GSC for a year. I finally bid on the proof shown below. Yes, I went through all the GSC threads from years past, and yes, I checked the eBay comments for the seller. The point of my post is just how the photos may look different from the coin in hand. First theirs, then mine. [ATTACH=full]562105[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]562107[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]562108[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]562109[/ATTACH] In hand you can tilt the coin and see the mirroring off the fields, and nice coloring. This is closer to reality. [ATTACH=full]562120[/ATTACH] So I'm not sure what my point is. The poster already said he is happy with 75% of his purchases from GSC. He had the coin in hand to look at. There is a generous return policy - plenty of time to go to a trusted dealer and get another opinion. And finally, their photos have a consistent style. Once you learn the style you can still deduce a lot about the coin. They may be those who denigrate GSC, but in all truth, if you treat them as one more resource at your disposal, and learn their language, there is no reason to dismiss them totally.[/QUOTE]
