Here is an EScott Accurate View Video of my Swedish coin. Notice that there are light hairlines on obverse that might not show up on a static picture. I just hope lots of dealers start using this method. Much better than relying on little stickers inside slabs. I can make up my own mind as to grade. Also toned coins show their beauty (or ugly) when shown in the videos. Really helps on copper with some or all red.

Coin in the video should have been rotated around for better views.

Very nice coin!

As long as the seller is honest, knowledgeable and offers a refund there shouldn't be any issues with images. I would love to do a video of each of my coins but it's already so time consuming taking the images I do. I don't ever have returns because I am honest and knowledgeable and my coins look better in hand.
