If you like color on your Lincolns...

please check out lot 153 in the Heritage Long Beach Bullet Auction. It is one I consigned. A 1929 D PCGS MS65 Brown Lincoln. The description is fairly accurate, but the pictures fall far short of showing the amazing luster and electric blue color overlaying very glossy and clean surfaces. One red spot peeks through on the reverse. I originally bought this lovely gem from Supercoin. The eye appeal is extraordinary.

    for the life of me i cant understand why a large company who does millions of dollars worth of business, cant take a picture of what the coins really look like........i see new sellers on ebay who are just starting out, and they know how to do it, why cant they.? its their business . you would think they would take the time to show off their items.......instead they show dark brown globs of whatever......you have to strain, and try and make out what it is they are showing.......no i dont what to read the discription, if i wanted to read, i get me a newspaper.........

    You don't sound harsh. This is the first time I have done so, and only because I felt that this otherwise common coin had special merit.
    And because toners are a hot subject on the forum. I'll not make a habit of it, I promise.

    Classics, in the case, I don't blame Heritage. I could never take a decent picture of the cent no matter how I tried.

    Classic - It's because that's a scan, and scans VERY rarely portray the coin in a positive light. They should know that much, and I agree with you. They need a decent photographer on commission for that sort of thing.
