    Nice color! Why have you photoshopped out many of the contact marks?

    Good eye! Is that what the blurred areas are?

    These are just archived coins that are no longer for sale. So it's best they are seen in the best light!

    So if they contact marks have been "blurred", which can easily be seen on several of the photos, then I have a hard time believing these photos haven't been juiced up.

    Those coins are wearing some serious makeup. Hopefully the buyers got to see them in person and not just on Instagram.

    The black beauty image was the only pic that has been altered and was not my original pic but the sellers. I just attached some pics to show an example of the coins I deal with. All the coins I have sold are represented accurately with professional photographs. Never have I had a complaint of improperly representing a coin. I just got on here and was not aware of the backlash I would receive for posting a couple very nice coins that have already sold Sorry for the crappy image of the terminally toned raw 81-S.

    Great to see someone I know on here who isn't attacking me! 😂
    Just to let y'all know this is the guy who bought the 85 from me and he absolutely loves it!

Never have I had a complaint of a coin being misrepresented. The photos have not been juiced. The double crescent has a toning break in front of the face and that is not edited. I just got on here and wanted to show a few of the coins I've sold and didn't expect to get such a backlash. From now on I won't be lax about the pics I end up posting.

    Then why not post the un-altered version... ? Like the one that's on your Instagram? Fishy.

    If “seen in the best light” includes photo-shopping them to remove flaws, I strongly disagree.

    The 81-S black beauty was the only pic that was altered and not my original picture, all the other coins are represented accurately with professional photographs. Never have I sold a coin with a crappy picture like that to represent it. All my buyers have been astounded with the quality coins they receive, David bought that 85-P blue up there and was thoroughly impressed. Sorry for not taking the time to consider the picture I posted of the raw black beauty, just something that was there in my camera roll and I wanted to show examples of what I deal in.

    Many of them were seen and bought from Instagram and they were very satisfied. The only picture that is crap is the black beauty which was not mine but the sellers. All the other pictures represent the coin 100% accurately. No "make up"

    It's not "fishy", it's called first time being on here and not knowing which picture was selected in my camera roll. And not taking the time to fix it.

    I can vouch for @Comet_Coins, I bought a super nice textile toned 1883-O NGC 64* Morgan from him, and the video and pics were not juiced in any way, the coin is great in hand. Aside from the raw 81-S, the other coins are not wearing "makeup".

    To clarify the black beauty picture is not vmcoins (Jacob's) picture. But my own mishandling on the pictures in my camera roll.

    WOW! Wonderful combination of beauty and high grades there!

    I have existed since the creation of this world and will exist until its end. Only my form will change. For these 80 human life years, I have the benefit of having a functioning body and consciousness. I will not waste this opportunity.

    Thank you for the explanation. The coins are great looking and you sound like a straight shooter to me.
