  Are those milk spots hidden in the blurry images?

  maybe when he gets the six grand he'll probably get for it, he can take $25.00 of it and buy himself a better junk camera..

  just read your review.. fist time i've looked at your site.. nice job on that review.. i've been using Steve's Digicams for camera review reading for many years.. i know there are a lot of other similar sites.. nice to find one specific to shooting coins and slabs..
  
  that Canon really does have a tiny screen on it.. yikes..
  
  i'm currently using a three year-old Olympus C-7000 zoom.. when it came out it was $600.00-ish.. didn't cost me a cent since i was writing tech reviews for a magazine who wanted all its writers to have a decent camera, so they sent it to me to keep.. i searched your site but didn't get any hits at all on "Olympus C-7000 zoom" so if you ever reviewed it, i can't find it.. it's a seven megapixel job, not much bigger than a pack of cigarettes with Olympus' typical menu system from Hell.. and takes xD cards.. and even after three years of shooting a few thousand pictures with it, there are features in it i've never used and probably never will..
  
  i MUCH prefer my circa 1999 Sony Mavica FD-91.. a big bruiser of a camera that was $1200.00 or so when Sony first introduced it.. bought one a year or two later, brand new in the box, for $600.00 from an etailer.. unfortunately, it's only 0.8 megapixels maximum, but that's what you got back then, but the lens is incredible.. with Sony's SteadyShot gyroscopic stabilization, a huge, tiltable rear LCD screen PLUS electronic viewfinder.. it's an SLR with a MUCH simpler menu system, and of course, what was cool then but isn't any more.. it uses MS-DOS high density floppies in its built-in double-speed drive.. for Storage.. so you get about 10 - 20 shots per disk, depending on resolution.. with 14:1 optical zoom (unheard of in most digital cameras, and the FD-91 is the ONLY camera Sony ever made with that lens).. you can literaly hand-hold it at maximum telephoto.. no need for a tripod.. and its macro ability is every bit as good if not better than the much newer Olympus.. again, no tripod needed because of the SteadyShot.. it's about the size of a sandard SLR with motor drive and a five inch lens with 50mm screw threads at the end (so you can screw filters on it, unlike the Olympus, whose lens retracts into the camera when you shut it off, and has no screw threads)..
  
  if i could graft the FD-91's lens onto the C-7000 zoom i'd have the best of both worlds..

  Over $3000 he wants for this item and no return privilege offered? I remember seeing something in another thread awhile ago that,if PayPal is used, the seller must accept a return and give a refund if the return is done in a timely way and the goods are returned in the same condition as sent out.
  
  Anyone know if this is the case?

  Bad pictures, and basically saying "I didn't grade it, NGC did, so look at their warranty", are both red flags to me.
  
  There are 69's, and there are 69's. There are 70's and there are 70's.
  
  When buying coins of this quality if the seller can't even provide you with a quality image and/or a return option, I say PASS.
  
  Wait for another to come down the road, or buy from a trusted source that always delivers quality because they care.

  it was tossed in as a freebie with the 1995 10nd Anniversary AGE set.. only 31,000 of the Proof 1995-W ASEs exist, since it was never sold by itself, and only 31,000 of those sets were sold, at $1000.00 each.. so the only way to get that oz. of Silver was to cough up a grand for the Gold set.. it was also the first ASE with a W mintmark {{twirling finger in the air}}.. in PR69 DCAM typical price for that ASE alone is around six grand.. i think ONE was slabbed PR70DCAM by PCGS and last sold for thirty grand or more..

  Too bad I couldn't have lucked into 138 - 2008 BU SAE's with reverse of 2007 @ $25.95 each. My cash outlay of a little less than $3,600.00 woulda been worth around $55,200 now.
  
  I ended up with zero 08/07's. Wasn't even into Coins when the 95-W came out.

  I thought I was the only one still hiding a FD-91. I think both my batteries are dead for it though. I had a FD-81 for a week or two before returning it for a FD-91 back in 1998 when I bought it. The eye piece plus LCD were the big selling factors in my case. It provided extra stability when using the eyepiece and holding it by the lens body. Still a great camera if you dont need a HUGE honkin photo. Think I'll pick a battery up off eBay soon.

  i loooooooooooooooove the FD-91 my original battery, the one that came with it, the NP-F550, lasted a few years.. when it would no longer hold a charge, i replaced it with the beefier one, the NP-F570 (or 750 or something like that).. holds about twice as much juice.. Sony used those batteries in a LOT of their cameras, and STILL uses them in current model camcorders.. so they are easily avaiilable.. and there are now no-name clones of them that are much less expensive than the genuine Sony brand.. so shop around.. cool thing about their "InfoLithium" battery technology is that the camera tells you IN MINUTES how much juice is left in the battery.. with my much newer Olympus C-7000 zoom, which takes a MUCH smaller battery (since it's a much smaller camera).. all i get on its screen is a green icon when the battery is okay, which turns to a flashing red icon when the battery is almost out of juice, and nothing in-between.. so that Sony InfoLithium battery is very cool technology.. it's literally a battery with a brain..

  The seller states that insurance is included in the shipping fee. So $28.50 would be reasonable. I would rather have the coin in a box though.

  Why would you waste over $30 on insurance? By sending it registered insured for $4K to $5K $28 is probably a fair charge for SH&I; certainly its not excessive IMO.

  there was a PCGS MS69 that sold in a large Sydney auction about 9 months ago. It went for $2700 USD with the buyer's fee. I was tempted to buy and flip to some sucker, but bullion isn't really my thing. $2700 for that one, $3800 for this one. The market looks to be softening for these, so how much lower will they go?
