Sellers using pictures of dots... not smart.

Sometimes I shake my head at the dots that pass for "pictures" on Ebay. I guess some sellers don't realize just how much that can adversely affect sales.
Case in point is the coin below. It sat for weeks with a BIN of $32 and a Best Offer. Picture makes the coin look dead. I speculated that based on the wording in the auction that the coloring could be quite nice.
So I finally threw caution to the wind and offered $23. Accepted.
Talk about a HUGE difference between auction picture and coin in hand.
(I also agree with the seller wondering why it isn't in an MS holder. I don't see signs of wear... I've definitely seen worse in MS holders...)
