<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2496094, member: 76194&quot;]After waiting a while for this coin to arrive, I finally got my Postumus in the mail today. When I opened the package, I found this tacky certificate. I thought dealers didn&#039;t bother with these unless (1) you either requested it, (2) or you bought from some shady overpriced numismatics operation that doesn&#039;t know squat about ancients. It really is very tacky! Not sure why an y self-respecting ancient coins numismatist would want a worthless certificate of authenticity. A coin is either genuine or it isn&#039;t, and a certificate doesn&#039;t mean squat.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]528945[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second observation was this: Look at the seller&#039;s pictures!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]528946[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And the actual coin:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]528955[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]528956[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Lol! I don&#039;t know what kind of editing software these people were using. Talk about using tons of lighting and editing to make it look shinny. The interesting part is that I&#039;m actually glad its toned and not bright as a brand new proof US coin. Part of the reason why this coin sat in my vcoins watch list for many months was because I could never bring myself to pull the trigger because it just looked too shinny...so I waited for a discount in price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still, I will definitely keep this photo experience in mind when buying from this seller in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
