Im kinda new to the coin thing.
I started like buying some cheaper stuff and am feeling like the old German States stuff with a little bit of colonial US, and just about anything G.B.,Ireland and France from the 1500s to the early 1700s.
Well, i went to a big coin company in columbus ohio and bought few nice coins.....
well, Im probly not as forgiving as some, but when i started looking at the coins i noticed that even withm my untrianed eye that they had been very generous in their grading.
What i would call a good coin at the very best, they were calling fine or better.
They didnt exactly over charge me or anything and im not raelly into buying perfect coins.......I really only am interested in the historical value..........but I just think it odd that a rookie could see the imperfections in these coins and be a little more critical of their condition than this company whos been in business for 40 years.
It makes me kinda see the point in the post above.
I think these folks overgrade in hopes that rookes will think theyre getting something worth buying........escpecially since when i bought these coins they WANTED me to go back home and order them online instead with NO photos......only thier listed grades....
seems theres lots of deception going on ........
