HERITAGE COIN AUCTION HYPE

Not withstanding the old addage "buyer beware". What is your experience with the description Heritage uses when describing their coins. I have here 2 descriptions for some early dollars currently for sale there. # 1..... Pleasing golden-brown and electric-blue colors endow the peripheries of this unmarked and impressive piece. The highpoints have lavender hues, while the fields are essentially untoned.
# 2 .. Luster brightens the legends and generous portions of the devices. A beautiful example that may provoke a bidding war on the auction floor. If you are an internet bidder, how much weight should you put on these descriptions? Obviously Heritage makes more if you bid higher so they are probably biased. But are they generally honest in their descriptions? Have any of you seen deceptive descriptions by them? While we are on the topic, what about descriptions by ANR or Bowers and Merena?
