...post Ebay listings but I thought this was funny. Does this guy expect to sell this coin based on the picture alone? What a great picture...sure makes my mouth water.
Some of Shiro's pictures are better than this one. lol
Someone really needs to work a bit on the photography or quit wasting the bandwidth posting one. That's one of my big peeves, especially with early copper....they take a photo on a backlit white background of a coin that's already a bit dark, and it comes out as a black circle...then they have the gall not to crop the photo so it ends up loading at 75K per image, and they make sure to stick the black reverse on there too! UGHH!! I'm so happy I have a high speed connection these days - no more waiting five minutes to see a couple of black circles so I can unceremoneously move on.
Jom, anybody can see in the picture that the label says MS-63. And it's a green label to boot so it's probably an upgrade candidate. Heck, he's got a bidder who can see the smoke through the trees and is willing to plop down their hard earned money on a coin they can't even see, what's your problem?
i really like how he has it side ways so i can twist my neck out of joint. or maybe i could stand on my head and hold a mirror and look at it reversed.
I think the world would have been better off (including the seller) if he hadn't gone to the trouble to post any image that's completely useless for the cause. You can't see the coin, only the slab label - much better to just post a sight-unseen auction rather than showing how little you really care for others to see the item being auctioned. To me it smacks of, "this coin has a problem, so I'll just post a bad image so they can't tell it has a problem."

Are you making fun of this eBay seller? I hope not, or DCAMFranklin will be along shortly to lay down the law.

I was looking for a BLAZER 38d but can't tell if that one is or not.
Oh well, plenty of them out there.
