I generally hate eBay auction posts, but this one I simply could not resist!

I run into those every once in awhile. The guy doesn't have the contrast tweeked

up a bit too much on those coins, does he! I can barely see the slab!

I love the description, consisting of the single word "ATTRACTIVE".

 

geez.

He's probably keyword spamming. And I don't believe for a nano second that those coins will be that bright in person. He has the saturation turned up so high in those images that it’s painful looking at them!

Wow a 41-s and 44-s Buffalo!!!! I gotta get me one of those.

I think for $100 he should have a better image. OTOH, I suppose some people will buy anything in a slab. Could it be an "intentional accident??"

That's ICG's new pastel pink and blue slab. Not to be outdone NTC came up with their new white insert with pastel trim. Those are great photos and I'm sure the coins look just like that in hand.

 

It's also interesting how the toning makes the buffalo look a lot like Jefferson on both of these pieces.

I always love the use of colored lights to photograph overgraded coins. Does that make the seller a "photo doctor" vs. a coin doctor?

 

I much prefer a guy like jom, who will at least color his coins before he takes their pictures in natural light. Or TomB, who burns most of his coins to a crisp to give them that "old circulated" appearance. At least those guys aren't doctoring their photos!

Why use natural light? The way you jack up the shipping charges on your auctions you can afford the best indoor light money can buy!
