Chris, that is harsh. You are, (were), the type of customer that the mint should have reached out to for this offering. Good customers of the mint...
Yeah, the quarters in Barbers are the bear, (a lot like seated liberty, and bust, and draped bust....). Seems as if quarters were not as popular...
Weird, never heard of a cancellation fee on a sale. I suppose its fine whatever two parties agree to, I just hope everyone is aware of it if they...
Excellent post. Returns are geometric, not arithmetic, and therefor a 10% decline is more severe than a 10% rise is good. This is the foundation...
I always find changing what I buy to recharge my collecting batteries. I went through what you went through on US coins, and stopped collecting...
Just for fun, I will list a few different scenarios that could happen. If you could humor me, just let me know which ones you believe should be...

So dealers do not extend unlimited return privileges for proven doctored coins? I am not disagreeing with you, I would simply think that such a...
Yes sir you are justified. If the coin was a fake, he had every right to return it to you in my eyes. However, he is trying to make a profit from...
Lol, and then Dang it! if they selected you to take a survey and delaying you to your busy signal. :)
