<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 700346, member: 15110"]No offense Doug, but this kind of overcritiqing a coin can be dangerous. Lost Dutchman is a big boy and experienced, so I doubt you would sway him at all. But you personally influenced me to see my S VDB in a light such as this. I actualy took that coin to Angle Dee's (whom PCGS directed me to get an opinion). The owner said the coin would grade fine and the hairlines we're not signifcant. I let that critique bug me and I tried to fix it with Dellars Darkener (which I didn't know you had to dilute and mix well). It spotted up and essentially screwed up the coin. I don't blame you for ultimately my choices. Others might have ignored your criticism and moved on, and I didn't. That being said, you definetly influenced me. Lost Dutchman, posts a great coin and most or us think it looks pretty nice. Sorry, but I had to say this because it's kind of personal to me and I think looking for the slightest imperfections when someone posts a coin is not what most are looking for, but I could be wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
