<p>[QUOTE="gronnh20, post: 3636794, member: 73224"]I didn't really mean it in the sense of one photog. Well, one quality person to manage the photography department might help. Heritage should up their game on the photography end, is all I meant. Scanners just don't cut it for on-line sales of coins. When most of coin sales are done on-line, quality pictures sell that coin. A high end coin auctioneer like Heritage should treat every coin as high end. Leave the crappy picture taking to eBay sellers or people like myself with no photography skills. </p><p><br /></p><p>Right now the majority grade the Barber half MS64. That puts it at $1100 in the PCGS price guide. Poll: which MS64 grader wants to put in the first bid? Don't forget there is a buyer's fee. For handling the coin, like photography, cataloging, shipping/receiving... I would think, as a business, they would want the best of the best to sell product. With the poll, there are a lot of people passing on this coin on any grade above MS63. Of course, there is those few that would get a bargain at MS64. If I was Heritage I would try harder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
