Without any doubt the best coin photo I've ever seen on eBay.

Glad they took pains to keep the detail.
Impressive
Kind of reminded me a little of some of the solar eclipse photos.
(or maybe a fuzzy planet).

That description is precious.
It’s a mystery, like life.
I also recently saw a blank planchet listed that has a "90 degree rotated reverse".

Well he did say he couldn’t get any closer or he’d lose detail. So there’s that.

And I thought I seen some pretty sucky pictures...
The only thing missing from the description is "God bless you!"

Better hurry and put your high bid in so you don't loose it.
Fuzzier than the first pics from the Hubble Space Telescope before they went back up to fix it.
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
eBay charging a listing fee would eliminate a lot of this nonsense. 2-3% of list price to be applied/refunded to the final fees when (if) the item sells.
BTW, HST is still killing it. And the James Webb Space Telescope is doing pretty well too. You're welcome.

Just as a matter of fact, the first photos taken by Hubble were quite good; better than anything that an earth-based telescope could do. They just weren't as good as they should have been, so they diagnosed and fixed the problem.
And, yes, you're welcome.
Absolutely hilarious
Or a box of Whitman's samplers.
@MWallace Mike it looks more like a stool sample. I've seen better Parking lot finds. Like your sense of humor too.

If you don't want that one he's also selling these two.

I love how we can get perfectly clear photos from the Mars rover which is over 140 MILLION miles away, but banks don’t have a camera that can get a clear image of a robber 20 feet away. And no one can seem to get a clear shot of a Sasquatch either after all these years…..lol Now, back to eBay True View imaging….lol
Or pictures of UFO's from military aircraft with the worlds best technology!

Being from Roswell, NM, I will now keep my mouth shut….🤐😂
Just throw a cent in the air, take a picture of it and call it an unidentified flying obverse. 😂

Anything can be a UFO if you’re bad enough at identifying things.
This is my 100th comment, and it's more useful than that photo.

Here's what the late great Mitch Hedberg had to say about Bigfoot.
(At 2:20 of the video if you don't want to see the entire video).

Big foot is blurry, it's not the photographs fault! LoL!!! 🤣 😂 👍🏻

The seller must be one of the small percentage of persons with a flip phone, because any smartphone from the last 10 years could produce a coin photo with SOME detail!
…..
Um, Bigfoot is a different variety of Sasquatch and furry bluriness is considered a VAM 2.3! Mystery solved! 🤪🤪
