<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pocket Change, post: 450335, member: 8012&quot;]It&#039;s funny, but I was thinking of the same thing last night.&nbsp; I was cruising the &quot;bay&quot; to kill time and was looking at the &quot;Blue&quot; silver Ikes.&nbsp; Have you ever noticed that all the photos are kind of distant and show the cellophane packaging, the blue box, etc.&nbsp; The coin is just a whitish blob somewhere in the picture.&nbsp; And that&#039;s the important part.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same goes for Proof and Mint sets.&nbsp; They always give you a &quot;landscape&quot; shot of the set.&nbsp; Personally, I wouldn&#039;t bid on one (if it cost a fair amount) unless they had close ups of the coins or they sent them to you. </p><p><br /></p><p>Think about it.&nbsp; If they really are choice coins, the seller will RUN, not walk, to get close-ups of those coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s kind of late in the game to get a choice Proof/Mint set off e-bay for the &quot;normal&quot; going price.&nbsp; If it really is good, there will be super photos and bidding will reflect it.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
