Title: a tale of two pictures
Post by: Victor on February 12, 2025, 09:31:48 AM

I got several coins yesterday and after photographing them, there was one that took me a bit to remember who I had bought it from. I looked through my purchases and found it. I didn't immediately recognize it because the coin looked so much better than the dealer photo.

here is my photo
