<p>[QUOTE="Coinman_Ben, post: 632709, member: 9923"]people recommend novice coin dealers all the time not because those coin dealers are experts in rare coins and counterfeits, but because they're experts in good customer service, which perfectly describes the seller on ebay. While it's good to have good recommendations, the fact is, most people's recommendations with ebay sellers have to do with good customer service and not expertise. The kinds of recommendations where people are recommended for what they know happen more with face to face encounters with coin dealers and are especially rare on ebay. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, only copper coins turn black when burried under dirt. If it were burried under tar, there would be thick black residue in some places, and other places where it'd be as white as if it had been burried in dirt (which once you wipe off the dirt, it'll be as white as the coin I scanned to compare to the coin on ebay). The coin being sold on ebay was black all the way through, which means it's made of lead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
