Ham1947 Pillar of the Community United States 1298 Posts	Posted 09/22/2012 9:12 pm I keep seeing things like this where sellers try to hide various things (flaws, dings, cuts, marks, etc.) that all coins especially Morgans have. This seller has obviously tilted and or slanted the coin. This particular Morgan is most likely a very nice coin, but looking at the sellers photos, you cannot possibly gain any information about how the grade was determined. Here is the link if you are interested. http://www.ebay.com/itm/13076910942....m1423.l2649 Report this Post to the Staff

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 09/22/2012 9:58 pm Personally I dont think those photos are bad. Theres a lot of them and you can see the coin well enough to see if its ugly or not. NGC does a good job as well Report this Post to the Staff
specksynder Pillar of the Community United States 1080 Posts	Posted 09/22/2012 10:02 pm There are horrible examples out there. I think this was just a case of trying to get rid of the glare that comes from photographing a coin in the GSA holder. Report this Post to the Staff

Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 09/22/2012 10:20 pm With a MS-66 coin, there aren't to many marks to try and hide. Report this Post to the Staff
beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 09/23/2012 08:11 am Bad photos are commonplace on ebay, although I don't think these are that bad. What I hate are pictures that are out of focus or too small to see any details. Report this Post to the Staff
