<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sean5150, post: 2297590, member: 75607&quot;]How do you know what I am buying coins based on? The fact is those exact pictures when showed to you raised no flags concerning cleaning or damage. I knew I had a dog when I received it. I fully admit I struck out. I&#039;m not going to speculate if the coin was cleaned or not, but I can say I have become obsessed with Carson City Morgans, and I have never seen one in a GSA holder for sale with a details grade. I know you will say that&#039;s because dealers know better and so on but the fact is this coin is an anomaly because with the amount of them out there you would see some.</p><p><br /></p><p>So either it was cleaned, NGC got it wrong, or chicanery was involved. But when you say things like &quot;that is clearly a cleaned coin - I believe I said it before&quot;, the only result is one that is self aggrandizing. But you saw the coin before and said no such things. So what is driving you to say it now is not from a genuine place.</p><p><br /></p><p>I try to buy coins based on eye appeal AND price. Sometimes photos are misleading. And this coin wasn&#039;t cheap. None of the 78s in a GSA are cheap. I should have returned it, but I didn&#039;t. People are commanding silly premiums for the NGC ribbon but at some point that coin was raw and it got graded. I have lucked out before and I have struck out before, son la cosa de la vida.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
