I bet the true views look exactly, like the lovely coins they took pictures of.

Honestly bear..........in my eyes they look terrible!!!
The regular guy that images(Phil) is one of the best around but he was not there when these were imaged.

The Franklin Proof looks like a monster....and not in a good way :(
You cannot see all the true colors....the reds, greens, yes there is a lot of green but doesn't even show.
The coin frankly looks like he's a dirty spotted old man. And in hand he has tons of luster and very vivid colors.


The Lincoln proof looks like they rolled it around in some mud before imaging!!!
One would never know the on both sides of that proof around the edges is a rainbow.
If I list these two coins on Ebay for sale I will be lucky to recoup my grading and imaging costs.

The first Morgan is stunning, just stunning!
From this image it looks washed out and lifeless.

Below is what it really looks like.
And the bad part is......I cannot complain because Mr. Willis already is looking for a way to ban me because
he pretty much has stated that I disgust him.
And the grading of the coins suffer as it is. So I quietly voice my aggravation here......in the safe zone ;)



This is the 1878-S..........btw, this coins has mirrors like you wouldn't believe




This is their image







Now.....imagine my frustration with the Franklin and Lincoln Proofs

Well OK, in that case, I do not like the pictures. It just goes to show

that the little fuzzy bear is easy to intimidate.I am prepared to go with the flow.

It looks like they were having lighting issues that day.  I wouldn't be too pleased with the Lincoln or the Franklin, or a couple of those Morgan pics.  The lighting setup looks wrong for some reason, and the Lincoln picture is too dark for me.

Much more disturbing is this - Mr. Willis already is looking for a way to ban me because
he pretty much has stated that I disgust him.
   If this is true, I'd pack up my bags and get as far away from PCGS as I could.  They're already on my dookie list for so much that I don't even pay attention to them anymore.

FB, a person is known by the enemies they make. I would say,

that you are in very good company indeed. ;D

I guess Don saw the post ATS and had Phil fix the images, so we are now looking at the new ones and besides the Lincoln proof they look up to par of what they used to be
