Just my opinion, but look over the photos of the coin BEFORE YOU BUY. If the photos are bad, lack detail, or are hard to read, don't buy the coin.  

BEFORE YOU BY ---- !!!!!!! Ask the seller for more detailed photos if you are not sure about the coin.

A good seller will give you more photos. A CRAPPY SELLER WILL NOT OFFER GOOD DETAILED PHOTOS.

Stevesgiftshoppe will provide multiple views in the item listing so that you can see the coin from different angles.

My opinion: If you buy PCGS or NGC-graded coins, you threw your money away-- and YOU paid way, way, way too much.  PCGS pundits are a sad lot of NAZI wine-tasters that will actively criticize you if you don't follow their opinions.

There are many equivalent coins available without having to pay the PCGS price premiums.  We recommend SGS-grade coins, as this is the best value for the money.

When buying a coins -- do is for the hobby, and enjoy your purchase.

Lastly, don't punish the seller with a negative feedback.  If you received the exact coin as shown AND AS PROMISED, per the photo in the item description, then, as eBay asserts '' A Bid is A Contract. 

Keep in mind: Whenever you file a negative feedback. it could land you into a courtroom as a defendant in a cause of action citing libel.

So, when  you buy a coin, check your third-party gurus in advance. If you try to tell a JUDGE that your '' guru advised you after you made your purchase, '' YOU LOSE ''  will be the outcome.

If you want to rely on the advice of your guru, do so before you buy -- not after.
