Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 01/15/2016 12:57 pm This seller has a rep for using enhanced photos to make coins look better than they are. Nevertheless, this one looks pretty good. MS-63 seems likely and if the bid doesn't go much higher it might be a decent buy. There's a big price jump at MS-65 and if the seller was confident about a gem grade I wonder that they didn't try having it certified. Report this Post to the Staff
Bababooey Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 01/15/2016 1:06 pm I'm not sure I'd go as far as doctored, but GSC does seems to have 'interesting' photographic techniques. They literally show the coin in it's best light. I'm not sure how they do it. I don't think it is just software manipulation. I've bought a few coins from them before, and I have been able to just about replicate their pictures of the coins I have. I think their photos are quite attractive, but I agree that they do not lead themselves to accurate grading. They don't have a lot of fans on this board. There was a recent post about shill bidding as well. I don't know buffalos , so I won't guess at the grade. It is not in a holder so there may be a reason why it was not sumitted.

I was just reading a post on another forum about GSC and same thing - buyer beware. Report this Post to the Staff

coin_kid Valued Member United States 381 Posts	Posted 01/15/2016 6:58 pm I'd definitely pass on this one. Too many neg feedbacks about doctored pics. Also, IF it was actually a "GEM BU" I'd let the coin speak for itself, not the title and the doctored pictures.. Report this Post to the Staff
