...looks much better in-hand than in the image. I was drawn to this coin by the image and the fact that it seemed to look so nice and original and then once I saw it in-hand, wow!

Yeah, the image of the reverse would have killed that coin for me. Glad it worked for you.

I think I saw that coin in hand a couple of weeks ago. If it is the same coin, it indeed is a great coin and I almost bought it.... A great purchase!

I've probably spent 10 hours trying to photograph this coin...I can't get the color or luster right

That looks like an "Eye Appealing Coins" coin. They sure have some beauties on their website!

A coin of mine that I myself wouldn't buy from this image. The flash and color of this coin really looks 10 times better in hand.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever

Bought it on Ebay. It had a decent image. But very nice in hand.
