Much larger, brighter images needed. Can't tell much from these.

More light needed on the coin.
I want to see if there is retained luster. If not, it may be impaired.
Looks like XF-AU details so far.

Yeah, these are all I have from the dealer. I liked the detail and will take a chance on this one. Better pics when it arrives. If I don't like the looks of it, I'll return it.

poor lighting makes it difficult to determine surface originality. key in on those spots in front of the neck, between a couple of the feathers and that white spot. grade wise looks like its between XF40 and 45

Much better pics.
Nice coin.
Appears original with luster remaining and minimal wear.

Sometimes I think that bad seller pictures can work to your advantage as long as returns are allowed. Got another coin coming in today that had really green pictures. Almost no bids. Dealer told me he lost pretty bad on it.

I think that can work to the buyer's advantage. Can't understand people selling coins with terrible pictures - seems like a waste. I mean look at this guy's selling pics - just awful. You guys thought I was crazy to buy this based on his pics. I might have been, but I knew I could back out if I had to. Bad pictures limit bidding, IMHO, which might provide an opportunity. . Hate to send coins back, but I'm willing to.

Yep I can live with this one at AU53, not a bad looking example.
