Are these pictures going to sell this coin?

ebay should just pull these listings until the person can take at least decent photos.

I find it amusing that the only nice, clear, unblurry photo is a photo of the slab label. I'm pretty sure that's not just a coincidence.

At least if it's a certified coin, sometimes decent photos are available on the TPGs site.

If the pictures are too blurry to see a coin at all then I steer clear.

Sometimes slightly blurry photos can work to a savvy buyer's advantage.

In general it seems that most people just can't take a decent picture, and it really hurts them when trying to sell a coin.

"Never give a sucker an even chance". That is extremely unfair and very dishonest in my opinion.

Anyone who is slightly wiser than a sucker in this case will reason that the intending seller is wasting his time.

Looking at the grade assigned, the quality of the coin is as good as the pictures

Best part is that there are 9 photos. They just wanted to make sure that buyers got to see all aspects of the blurriness.

I did see that too Sap. Your probably right. I'll bet there is something wrong with said coin.
