Buying from pictures - Last Night's Purchases

I know I'm not the only one that has bought a coin from a picture... hoping there was something more there than just glare or reflections.

I bought these three last night. Thanks again to Rampage for identifying one of the 1921-P Morgans as a VAM-32A (break over the second A in AMERICA).
The 25-P Peace dollar.... looked like over polishing around the eagle's right shoulder. A little bit toned.
The other 21-P Morgan... look between the D and O in DOLLAR.

It was late. They were cheap.

    Yep, you're not the only one to buy from pics. I've done it. In fact I have two bids right now on coins I'm hoping will work out. Although I've set my max bid. If I get outbid in the next 16 hours, so be it. image
