Just guessing: the converted picture is probably close (maybe a little darker). Compare the tone of original staples and a white 2x2.

pictures are usually like this. Maybe trying to hide something Unfortunately for sellers (good for savvy buyers), I think this is a common "misconclusion" on ebay. I truly believe that the vast majority of lousy pictures on ebay are just simply that... lousy pictures. Nothing more, nothing less. |

I stay away from anything that looks shady, including pictures. |

You score deals on ebay by bidding on things other people miss (including the seller at times). There is an element of risk involved though, of course, and a bit of a learning curve on evaluating the sellers' "tricks." And metalman, you either need new glasses or a new monitor. That S is really obvious even on my cruddy laptop. |

My computer is new so I guess new glasses? seriously the picture came out better here than it showed in the auction, I already said that in my second post. The point is why would I want to spend more than 50 dollars to find out what was under the shadow? If that's your thing have at it, I will buy coins that I know what I'm getting, I personally don't have time to deal with returns,pay pal complaints or ebay buyer protection. the best protection is not buying coins you can't see. |

I changed the contrast on my monitor, I can see the S now but the rest of the coin is still dark enough to hide any number of problems, the degritis is more obvious also.

I agree, why spend the $$ to find out what it really is, not worth it too risky. If your really interested in it you can always ask the seller to post a different picture.
