<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 329161, member: 11467&quot;]No, I am not suggesting that. But I believe that buyers are often fighting large odds in trying to buy uncertified coins (or those graded by other than the most highly respected grading companies)based on images, while in essence betting that the coins are accurately graded.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sure the coin might be a 66 and a good deal at $100, or whatever. But the odds of that are remote and I think it is fair to say that coins are far more likely to be over-graded by sellers than they are accurately graded or under graded. And gambling such as this on the part of buyers, against the odds, will almost certainly produce net losses over the course of time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regarding the coin in question, the images aren&#039;t particularly good/clear and the odds of it looking worse in hand are much better than those of it looking better - for example, there could easily be hairlines or other flaws that are not apparent in the pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
