I don&#039;t bid unless I see a picture.Dec-04-09A:&nbsp; I am real sorry that I cannot provide a picture, however if you bid and win and find the coin unacceptable you can always return it. I am not providing pictures as a test of the validity of PCGS grading. With PCGS grading you should be able to bid on a coin with the assumption that the coin is as advertised. I am tracking the bid difference between pictures and no pictures. Call it a social experiment. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bottom line, a coin that sells for well over $100 and PCGS lists for $150, I got it for $60 and it is a nice looking coin like he said.&nbsp; So much for the social experiment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
