Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3610319, member: 112"]Jim, let me ask you a different question here. If they had returned your coin to you in a slab that said MS64 - would you be asking all these questions about why, who can I talk to, do they keep records, etc etc ? How about if they said MS63, or MS65, or maybe even XF45 ? Do you see my point ? I mean, I suspect you would not be asking questions about their opinion at all. Well, maybe ya would if they said XF45, but I doubt ya would if the others were the result. What I suspect happened Jim is this - you looked at the coin and simply missed the scratch - you simply didn't notice it. Well, don't feel bad, you are far from the first person this has happened to, and it will happen to many, many more. A great many collectors miss seeing problems on the coins they submit. And when I say a great many I mean thousands upon thousands of them ! And yeah, I include myself in that. I've purchased coins before and not even seen the issues until I get home and look at the coin more carefully, more closely. It happens to all of us from time to time ! The thing ya need to do is to learn from your mistake. That's how we all learn. A wise man I once knew put it this way. If you don't make a mistake now and then, it simply because you are not doing anything.[/QUOTE]
