I recently bought two coins from the Heritage Santa Clara Signature sale, and their Santa Clara Bullet sale. They were two Proof Indian Cents, and the scans looked nice. They were bought sight-unseen, with no return privileges.
One of the coins (from the Signature sale) was flat out ugly with a fingerprint on the right obverse behind the headress, something that was not noted in the coin's description. The other was "fair", although certainly not a coin I would have bought had I seen it at a coin show.
The point is, you just can't rely on the scan, unless you have a return privilege. I would have thought I would know better by now.

And yes there scans suck big time. I stopped buying from them unless i see the coin. If they read this maybe they will seek out Anaconda for his photo taking skills? Maybe then i will more readily bid sight unseen.
