Excuse my disrespect, but this "appears" to be one of the crappiest MS64 PCGS graded 1812

OK CBH experts, am I showing my ignorance here???

I'm hoping the seller has taken some "crappy" pics.

If I was selling this coin, I would have hired Russ, rgcoinguy, or spacemonkey to image this classic rarity.

    I bet it would look nice with some decent pictures.

    Just typical crap pictures, could be a very decent coin.

    The grainy pixels of the image make the obverse look like a weaker strike and more wear than what would really show up in hand (no pun intended!)

    I would also expect this coin to have decent luster which is drained by the angle of the image.

    Terrible photos. The coin appears to have wear on the high points. I wonder how it looks in hand?

    Sold here for 3881.25 april 2007 with the following description.

    "1812 50C MS64 PCGS. O-105a, R.2. This satiny and evenly struck near-Gem features original cream-gray, autumn-brown, and apple-green toning. To the unaided eye, the grade appears conservative, although a loupe locates a thin vertical mark near the jaw. "

    I would be more interested in knowing why this seller thinks that eBay is the proper venue for an 1879 NGC PF-65 CAM $4 Stella. image
