How much time do you spend looking at coins in hand vs coins online?

I have to admit I spent more time looking at pictures of everyone else's coins. image

    If I am serious about buying what to me is not an inexpensive coin, I must see it in hand, or people I trust must see it in hand, or ideally, both. There are only three sources from whom I will accept a coin on approval, and they know who they are.

    For this reason, I don't spend much time looking at images of coins online.

    My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.
