<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1022559, member: 13650&quot;]Agreed.&nbsp; I believe this coin is under intense lighting and would look completely different in hand.&nbsp; Most likely much darker with the toning not nearly as vivid.&nbsp; I&#039;ve experienced this first hand. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; For this much money, it shouldn&#039;t be a lot to ask to have several pics under varied lighting, including normal day light.&nbsp; But they never want to do that for you.&nbsp;&nbsp; It does look awesome in the pic though.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; FWIW, if you&#039;re considering making an offer.... I don&#039;t know what a MS-66 books at but I&#039;ve offered 50% of seller&#039;s asking prices before and it&#039;s been accepted more than once.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you&#039;re offer gets accepted immediately, you&#039;ll wish you would have went lower.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;d start low. Don&#039;t think 5-10% range is a lot.&nbsp; You don&#039;t know how long ago they could have purchased the coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; The worst they can do is decline it.</p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;ve never seen somebody get offended, but have had a few tell me they had more than my offer in it themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Edit:&nbsp; NGC lists a 1878-CC in MS-66 at 4220 right now.&nbsp; With the toning considered, I doubt he&#039;ll sell it for less than 4.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
