<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1907706, member: 4626&quot;]If it&#039;s a coin where the appearance can have a significant impact on value, I wouldn&#039;t even think about buying it unless I saw it in person.&nbsp; It&#039;s so easy to manipulate the image otherwise to make it look better than it really is.&nbsp; If it&#039;s a low value coin or a recent coin in original packaging, no big deal; those I buy online all the time, but if we&#039;re talking serious value don&#039;t touch it if you can&#039;t see it first hand*!&nbsp; Seems an obvious thing to say but it bears saying.</p><p><br /></p><p>(*If it&#039;s an online auction from a reputable auctioneer you&#039;re probably safe from image manipulation, but I&#039;m talking like eBay or some other such online site.&nbsp; Still even then, if you&#039;re shelling out a significant amount of money, I&#039;d still say see it in person first.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
