Which is exactly why most dealers know better than to even try to buy coins there. :) Like I said before, they may look from to time to see if...
Asking is the best way to find out. But you also have to ask the dealers themselves. And, the power of observation - use your eyes and head. For...
Howdy Joy - As said, you didn't really do anything "wrong" per se by posting this in the General Discussion section. It's just that the G.D....
Your choice of course, but you will be in effect flushing a $100 down the toilet - for nothing. And that is likely more than the 2 coins combined...
Harshly cleaned on both. Problem coin slab in other words.
I think you're right, but that doesn't mean they are. I used to buy and sell coins all the time, especially coins I had no intention at all of...
He was, and he is missed. Also, be aware there's plenty more of Clinker's posts to find, beyond those in his memoriam section. All you have to do...
Actually it has more to do with how I define a coin dealer. And unless I am mistaken, he doesn't fit the bill. To me a coin dealer is one who...
There might be some die polish lines there but I believe the majority of them are hairlines. There's some patches of hairlines on the rev as well.

I'd like to add an additional example of what I'm saying here. You walk out of the grocery store or Walmart. And on your way to the car you see...
I don't think that's what she's saying at all ! I read her comments quite differently. I don't see where she is condoning the actions of the bad...
I guess it shouldn't because it happens so often, but it never fails to surprise me when I read threads like this. And they're all pretty much the...
Your making a false assumption here Cal. The majority of the buyers in virtually all auctions are dealers - not collectors.
You're good to go ;) And Doug, everybody knows it's 14 :D
A few comments about your comments. There are some basic things that collectors need to be aware of, to understand, about the dynamics of the coin...
The answer is no to all of these, and that cannot be denied - So how can you possibly deny that it is logical and reasonable that die cracks on...
In the very early years, yes damaged dies were used. But that was because the mint was struggling to even survive, they simply didn't have the...
I'd readily agree that an over-date is not a flaw because it is intentionally put there and most definitely meant to be there on every coin. A...
If you do not use the phrase harshly cleaned in that statement, as opposed to just cleaned - then what you said can be very misleading if not...
Separate names with a comma.
