<p>[QUOTE="jamesicus, post: 3366048, member: 14873"]Care should be exercised these days when purchasing coins based on photos supplied by unknown or unfamiliar sellers. In the case of misrepresentation or obvious deception you will be able to recoup your money - maybe. Online photographs can be “doctored” very easily these days to “enhance” coin appearances and remove features. There are now free Apps readily available that can be used to remove surface blemishes - or features - easily and quickly. By way of example, I used such an App on the following coin of mine - original coin with blemishes left, and “fixed” coin right. It took me just a few minutes to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]892733[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]892734[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
