Outstanding post and you are spot on with your assessment of the Heritage images in contrast to the actual coin. I have learned to (in my own strange way) see "through" the images and get a sense for what I think the coin is going to look like in-hand. Is that risky? ...absolutely! Have I been successful & lucky with my risk taking, so far yes including this piece of $10 Southern Gold. I will certainly take my images of it this weekend and share them. My photography skills and equipment is less than spectacular but I think I can capture the coin closer to reality. >>
You owned it for about five weeks. I guess it was no so great after all. >>
Actually it is, and way out of your league. I've fallen in love with the Seated Halves and unfortunately I can't keep everything like rich guys like you.
<< <i>FWIW, it looks less offensive in your photos. I think I will ttt your BST listing with my commentary. >>
That was my first thought when I saw this thread pop to the top again, free publicity, and I thank you for it Robert. Your % cut of the sale will be forthcoming.
Seriously though, I think the Heritage pic did not accurately represent the coin and although my pics are more true to form, the coin looks even more "original" in-hand (or at least it appears to me as though). I'm not thrilled about parting with it, but I've made the decision to go after the complete Seated Half set in PCGS plastic (of various grade condition depending upon the scarcity of the date) and so far it's not an inexpensive endeavour. Therefore, some treasures have to go.

Damn! ... I thought this thread was starting to move in a positive and constructive direction. I should have known better!
