Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 10:57 pm Gosh, I've seen a lot of horrible pictures on the bay lately. For instance, the BU penny rolls that are dumped all over the counter to prove to you how beautiful they are. Or that one guy who sells MS Indian Head cents, but always uses his dirty mattress as photo booth. Oh yeah, and that one seller who always places their lustrous coins in the palm of their nasty hand. Seeing a macro of someone's hand behind a coin for sale REALLY makes me wanna make an offer. Maybe what did it for me was the 3 MS Indian Head cents I saw today, with gorgeous original color. However, the seller obviously handled them like zincolns because the coins have finger prints all over them. Report this Post to the Staff

allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 11:21 pm I started a folder on my computer of sellers with stupid pictures. People hold proof coins on the end of their fingers and crap like that. Here is a nice one: It was a nice proof until you took it out of the case and got your greasy cheeseburger hands all over the surfaces. Report this Post to the Staff

For anyone north of the US Border, this quote sounds like Randy and Lahey were handling collectible coins. Report this Post to the Staff

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5207 Posts	Posted 03/12/2013 8:19 pm It depeneds on whether they are a seller specializing in coins or just an antique outlet. Everyone puts a different value on different things. To those who drive a BMW but never change their oil make those of us that drive rust buckets that we take care of say "why would someone do that to a car?" Report this Post to the Staff
