Surface detail on his BU coins seems to be hidden by the lighting. Circulated coins look good though.

Wow, impressive pictures! I hope to be able to capture a coin's beauty like that at some point.

Below are the first 2 advertised BUs I clicked on and you can see very tiny little hits on both of them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1904-Indian...200774178026http://www.ebay.com/itm/BU-1929-Mer...200786134057Then I clicked on about a dozen more and they're all the same way.

The 1904 Indian is not uncirculated but a cleaned AU coin. The 1929 Merc looks unc and is exactly what I was talking about with the lighting. You can't make out how the surfaces look. The coin could be cleaned.

You can't make out how the surfaces look. Maybe you can't. But I see bunches tiny little hits all over the place...  There's more, I just got bored. I see no reason that cleaning lines wouldn't be seen and would trust that image 100%.

True, you can see the nicks, but what about hairlines? The more I look at the picture of the 29 Merc, the less I think it is uncirculated. I don't like the off color on the high point of the sticks. I'm just pointing out what I see. Those that are happy with their purchases is all that matters. I just looked at a few more of his coins. All I can say is buyer beware. This is not an uncirculated coin by any stretch of the imagination. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1882-Indian...em2ebf90d496 Check out my coins and bullion at http://usn6771.ecrater.com/index.php low prices, free shipping for CCF members.

I purchased a handful of Mercury dimes from that seller and had to return them all for undisclosed cleanings that were not visible in their pictures. To their credit, the returns were handled professionally.

My first impression was that theres been a lot of cleanings happening, could just be the cynic in me

At least they're not photoshopped to high heavens. That would give me some confidence with this seller as touching up is getting horridly ubiquitous. Same for photos taken directly after a dip. I ordered some 5 Bolivares on eBay once that had both. :-(
(Luckily I nabbed them for about spot so it wasn't a serious loss.)

(S)He has a really nice photo set up, more than likely a dedicated space for the equipment for the number of listings posted. I wish that I could say the same. Great images!
