A picture worth a thousand words?

If that old saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" is true, how
many words would you suppose these two pictures are worth?

The pics speak volumes by their silence.

Indeed, the silence is deafening! Even so, someone decided it was worth
no less than $8.78 to check it out in person. $10.08 if he felt
compelled to insure the shipment.

FWIW, the few times that I've bought a "pig in a poke" like this, I
ended up with a poke.

I think you're right, Harry. I don't know that I've ever thought about
it like that, but here's what that picture says in that form:

There have been times when I bought a coin with a terrible picture and got a good
deal.
But all of the seller's other auctions showed terrible pics too. Not everyone
has a nice camera or adequate scanner
or especially the skills to use them. I find one other item by this seller
and the image looks great! May not be anything to it but that is a clear,
"Danger! Will Robinson"! warning for me.

I suspect I have accumulated a thousand words worth of posts to rcc. The
value of these words may indeed equate to the value of those pictures, and
maybe even the "coin".
