i like to "gamble" on ebay, buying coins that are listed with bad or blurry pics that i can see potential in.. the last few turned out to be very nice, like this one (all pics on this post are SELLER'S pics):

and this one:

so today i picked up another one of these.. this one did not have a really bad pic but it was not the greatest pic either, and was listed at a very reasonable price.. it is graded by NGC. I hope i did good. what do you think? grade-wise but also concerning its eye-appeal?

The Walking Liberty Half Dollar has potential. I like the Peace Dollar. The quarter is probably going to be richly/darkly toned.

 

the quarter and walker are already here, they're both very pleasing (especially the walker) and were a great buy. the quarter was dark, but not AS dark as the pics suggest, and way more colorful..

 

the peace is the one i just purchased.. any guesses on the grade?

I won't spoil the grade on the peace dollar. I saw it and put it in my watchlist, I knew it would go fast I think for the grade and the little bit of color, it was priced fairly.

 

Not a fan of the quarter, but I think the walker will look nice in hand.

i think it was only up for 4 or 5 hours before i bought it.

 

i've seen white peace dollars of the same date/grade sell for a little more than what i paid for this one so im happy with what i paid

The surfaces look clean, but because of the strike, I'll call it MS64.

The quarter looks REALLY colorful and I like the Walker, too.

 

Am I the only one who doesn't like the left facing side of that Peace dollar reverse? I'd grade it anywhere from AU-MS 63.
