What I did also.
Copper is tough and I am no expert at it myself. I do know the right lights make a big difference - I now have OTT lights. I still take different...
Love the overdates. [IMG] [IMG]
I am with snaz on this one. I would just move on and I probably would not try that dealer again.
He is going by the type 2 hair. I am not where near as good as conder101 or marshall at attributing these with this little detail.

More nice coins everyone.
Nice pickups. Can't say about pricing since I do not collect them.
Is it on the left corner on second case from the right? I never been good at these spot the type puzzles. I also never really realized how much...

Great story and photos charmy. I hope your episode airs. Good luck!
