Well it's not an outstanding coin - unless you mean it's standing outside the ANACS folder for the photos. Maybe it was shot before submission to ANACS? I also think it's a tad over graded and probably cleaned and recolored.

What's frustrating to me is why in the world would you show the top of a slab? Is it in the slab? Was it in the slab? To me it makes no sense to show the top of the slab without some sort of explanation. Just a turn off to me and I go somewhere else.

According to ebay listing policies the entire slab must be shown in a photograph.  no proof that this is the coin in the slab, seller might delete photos as soon as the auction ends, and why I save every photo from coins I purchase, before I pay, to my computer for a record of what I have bought.

If it had been cleaned, ANACS would have noted it.
They are very good on cleaned coins.

Simple enough. The slab is NOT for the coin pictured. Whatever idiot purchased it deserves what he gets.

Can you imagine a listing saying: "For sale, Picture of 1833 Half Cent"? And the item for sale is a picture of an 1833 Half Cent. I wonder how many people would go for it. |
