I have the same issue with a 1915 Peso. I've researched it and studied photos until I'm cross-eyed, but I'm still not sure if it's high relief or...
I'm leaning AU details, but so hard to be sure from photos. I think your idea of soliciting some in-hand expert opinions is a good one. For what...
I was about to post the very same. It's always a good feeling to welcome a new convert. :D
Unfortunately acetone is not likely to have any effect on a blemish like the one in the OP's photo.

If I were the OP, I would've done the same. The first reply she got was shameful.
1) Give the buyer a refund and move on. It's not worth the hassle. 2) Don't wait 4 days to ship. If I were the buyer, I'd be annoyed too.
To the extent that flips will protect your coins, I think you'd be fine taking the one size fits all approach. But I've said it before (in fact,...
Reported for what?
Separate names with a comma.
