<p>[QUOTE="Breakdown, post: 807135, member: 19532"]I always prefer having a photo if I can't see the coin in hand first. Particularly with toned coins, I want to be able to visualize it. But solo dealers or even two person shops can't image everything unless they happen to be adept (and fast) photographers as well. </p><p>Charmy, I think your arrangement with Todd is the right way to go for you. My sense is that you are not as interested in photography as you are copper coins. I feel the same way -- I bought a camera and tried to play around with photographing my collection but I didn't have the patience to stick with it and improve. I ended up hiring Todd to do my higher end coins and it's worked out great. Like you, I won't hire him to photograph my whole collection because many of the coins simply aren't worth it.</p><p>Are you losing sales on lower end coins? Maybe, but I would think you're better off selling such coins at shows than over the net anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
