    I saw a similar photo they had for another high dollar coin a few days ago...You would think they would at least look at the photos before posting them....

    I wrote an Email to jim Halperin about the bad pics and got back: blah blah 5000 images a week, blah, fine line - don't want images to look "too good", IT deptartment working on it blah blah. Not really a very convincing answer.

    The coin's only starting at $69k... come on... I usually won't try to take a decent picture unless the coin's starting at a whopping $.99... and even then it might not go much further, but it gets its picture!

    My response is that I will never again make a serious bid on a Heritage coin unless I have personally viewed it (or a trusted rep has). I would consider bidding on an ANR auction coin sight unseen, however.

    Typical complacent attitude of a bloated corporation with a leading market share.

    Do not fall into the error of the artisan
    who boasts of twenty years experience in his craft
    while in fact he has had only one year of experience...
    twenty times.

    Looks like one of those rare Black Hole coins to me.

    Question about heritage and their pics.....

    Are their ebay pics notably darked for copper coins than the coin is when you get it inhand?
    Also, they state 7 day return policy....are they easy to work with if the coin sucks in hand since the pics suck?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I've always said that their imgages suck.
