Glenmore New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 04/20/2016 4:58 pm Quote: How can you make that statement? Because the picture came out how the picture came out the seller was acting with malfeasance? I didn't say -- and don't believe -- that it was a case of malfeasance. The seller presented the coin in the most attractive light, but he didn't misrepresent the coin. All the flaws are visible in the photo. However, I think it is naive to think that the seller didn't choose that kind of presentation for a reason, especially when we're talking about a coin in this price range. This is not the same as seeing a five-dollar Buffalo nickel photographed in a flip. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 04/20/2016 5:13 pm I've decided to keep the coin. It's a bit of a ying yang on how to photograph a coin. Do I have to make a coin look as bad as possible when I sell it.....don't thinK so. But how good should I make it look? In this case I hoped it would be better than I got, but oh well. Can still probably flip it for a profit, but just not as much as I had hope for, que sera sera. There is also a difference between auction and BIN photos imo. Auction description/photos tend to be a bit poorer. I sell mostly BIN, so I need to make sure something is photo'd/described very well since I'm looking for more closer to a retail price.

Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 04/21/2016 12:23 pm I hate buyers that try to file a SNAD on a certified coin to try and get out of return shipping or an agreed upon restocking fee and would never do business with them again. The coin looks correctly graded and the pictures do not look deceptive. I'd recommend you keep to your agreement with the seller. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 04/21/2016 1:41 pm Thanks for your opinion after the fact. If you had read my previous post I had already put it to bed. Photos can be doctored even on certified coins, which is why I was asking for help form forum members, which they did supply. Report this Post to the Staff
