I like this one. I especially like that fuzzy blob that somehow distorts the picture even further.

I like the handheld ones because you can check out the person's fingernails. There is a direct correlation between fingernail condition and condition of the coins being sold. If the nails are dirty, so are the coins. If the nails are chewed up, so are the coins. Etc.

They do this with Presidential dollars and State Quarters. Honestly I want to see what I'm buying not what I'm buying is SUPPOSED to look like. WHY?

Typical practice on eBay--hide polished/problem coin with fuzzy photo:

I die laughing everytime I see a listing from this seller. He/she has been selling on the Bay for about four years and all the coin photos have the same set-up ... included in xshifts dont's list, hand-held coins.

I am amazed a lady would show off her nails to the world when they look like that. Definitely some jam in there.

Big time polished coin! Like I have said before, know what you are doing because ebay does not nor do they care.

Disgusting. The minute I saw this auction, I'd move on. I don't care if it was a $500 coin for .99 cents. This stuff freaks me out!

Here's another. This is laughable because someone blatantly "upgraded" the coin with Photoshop.
