<p>[QUOTE="Barney McRae, post: 26160162, member: 150594"]I completely understand the reasoning, but it defeats the entire purpose when selling a coin (so the buyer knows it's legit). If there are good photos of the coin in question and there are true views on the TPG's website, should be able to compare the two. No two coins are exactly alike, the imperfections are unique. The worst thing I've seen lately was a scam seller using another seller's slab photos, then when called to the carpet, tried to claim it was "a stock photo". (a PCGS MS66) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> eBay quickly poofed that seller. Mind you, this same seller had a 1965 clad Washington quarter that looked like it had been run over on a railroad track, and was selling it for $1500. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
