Message:: [QUOTE="USS656, post: 768548, member: 6641"]I asked for an opinion and you seem to feel that you opinion is fact based on a couple pictures.  People need to remember it is very difficult even for people that make a living at this to accurately grade based on pictures.   Hear is another opinion from another trusted dealer: "I see this particular coin on occasion. The MAJORITY are either well worn or harshly cleaned. It IS a one year type and really cool to me.Yours is cleaned but not horribly and has great detail - a combination I RARELY see. I have one with less detail than yours - maybe VF+ and not cleaned and the color is darn near black. That's why so many ARE cleaned my friend. They tone ugly but I don't care. $85? I think you did fine. You could probably sell it for that while being totally honest and it seems YOU like it." Not saying his opinion is fact either.  So when you say "the facts are the facts" IMO that is either a naive statement or you cannot accept the idea that your opinion might not be correct.  I believe the object of this site is to share opinions and try to learn from them.  No one on this site knows it all or doesn't make mistakes from time to time.  Discussing the details of a given opinion helps everyone to learn more about what you saw that helped form an opinion.  Anything more than that is really not necessary.  Just accepting someones opinion without understanding it defeats the purpose of asking.[/QUOTE]
