I hesitate even on slabbed coins from GSC because I always wonder how they will actually look in hand. If the photos are artificially enhanced...
Yes, I agree, and unfortunately this is indicative of the low ethical standards to which we hold sellers in our hobby. And because of those low...
I agree the surfaces look a bit off, almost like there's some sort of residue. That's why I buy only slabbed coins except for low value pieces....
No they didn't. They didn't send original rolls. This has nothing to do with info boxes that auto populate. The seller dug his own hole by...
Here are additional details that Apmex provided in the listing: Occasionally, we get large lots of Brilliant Uncirculated 90% Silver in original...
I don't normally browse the "roll" category on Ebay but decided to have a closer look after participating on this thread. After what I just saw I...

This case is a bit different because we are talking about original uncirculated rolls. If they have the fed stamp like in the picture they truly...
The listing advertises "original, unopened and unsearched bank wrappers". Since the wrapper you received is not original this is a clear SNAD...

I totally agree! This is much more important than absolute rarity. A coin from Vanuatu or Togo with a mintage of 500 is never going to be as...
I appreciate everyone's advice. The educational opportunities on CT are truly second to none! I recently purchased this coin off of a poorly...
This thread is reassuring for me because I can see that I'm not the only one whose collecting interests are all over the place.
Fortunately the coin is in an earlier generation slab (2008 or prior) so hopefully it is stable.
Even if I could, breaking the coin out of the slab would not be cost effective.
