fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/17/2010 12:54 am Here is what the coin looks like with sharpness + 5%, contrast + 25%, brightness -25%. Going on the theory that the guy who photographed it didn't do any heavy doctoring but did try to "wash out" the surfaces. Report this Post to the Staff
afornaini Valued Member Italy 91 Posts	Posted 12/17/2010 08:38 am Thank you for your replies. The coin is on auction. Starting price is 240 euros. There is no return policy. I am very undecided on what to do. Auction ends tomorrow. I was told that the photographs of this auction house are not very good, and often the coins look better in hand. What should I do?

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/17/2010 09:32 am Honestly this may well be MS but I'd take a rain check on it since it is not slabbed, poorly photographed, and at a minimum has a weak strike. You can buy nice certified examples at teletrade and heritage for a good price. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 12/17/2010 10:30 am Assuming the auction house is insuring the authenticity, go 300 euro tops. You might get a steal and at 300 euro you're offering a bit more than 15% over melt. I wouldn't go any higher than that though. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
