...and Numistrust slabbed it like that? Encouraging.
Like I said yesterday....
Look at this seller's feedback, plus the feedback of those he's dealt with. A pattern emerges. This is a troll in the making.
That seller is particularly vicious in his interpretation of acceptable grading and trading standards.
Two good examples of your point. Those coins shouldn't make their grades - a Barber dime in that condition wouldn't be 63-64 - but between...
My first stop for reference when coin-shopping is Heritage . They've got a *huge* database of relevant information - prices realized, great pics,...

I've done that once or twice. Is there anything in Ebay's rules to prohibit warning someone that they're about to be taken?
Here's the "after: [IMG] [IMG] The reverse scan does the new luster no justice, of course. I've managed to lessen the overall grayness of...
So how does one tell a given circulated coin is a proof? I would imagine the luster would be the first thing to go, so are there specific detail...
