<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Johndoe2000$, post: 3690252, member: 82085&quot;]After perusing some high end pieces, I couldn&#039;t believe the difference in the pics provided by the same auction house. In this case, it was&nbsp; Heritage. The slab pics are good, but the close ups make the coin look terrible IMO. This is where the experience in dealing with each auction house&#039;s style of photography is so important when bidding. Unless you blindly agree with the slab, or TPGS.</p><p>The current bid is $135,000 + BP.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]989156[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]989157[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]989158[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]989159[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Would anyone think this was MS64 CAC from the close ups ? Be honest. It is hard for me to tell the difference between luster breaks, and scuffs sometimes. I&#039;m learning, but without the TPGS&#039;s grade, I wouldn&#039;t feel comfortable making purchases until I&#039;m able to see the difference between scuffs. And luster breaks without question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: FWIW, I&#039;m sure many investors simply go along with the TPGS&#039;s grade for accuracy, and from that, go with market value for pricing. Blindly believing the TPGS. We know better, but many don&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
