<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 919107, member: 21705&quot;]By now, most everybody has their own horror story about receiving a coin which looks totally different in hand than depicted on an image, usually Ebay. This is an example of how pictures can be very misleading and would probably contain a disclaimer like, &quot;I&#039;m not an expert on coins so look at the pictures and make up you own mind - NO REFUNDS&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/PhotoManipulation.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now I love the photo manipulation features because they allow me to make the picture MORE ACCURATELY represent it than the raw images themselves. But the same features can be abused.</p><p><br /></p><p>What would you think if you bought the coin on the right and received the coin on the left?</p><p><br /></p><p>I invite everyone to post examples of your surprises from purchases from images which didn&#039;t exactly match the coin in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>ps This particular coin was purchased at a show and the images are just variations I&#039;ve made myself as I am learning the art and skills required to present clear and accurate depictions of my coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
