[QUOTE="Mark Feld, post: 632720, member: 11467"]In order to make sure there is no confusion due to the above post...The seller in question is not a novice coin dealer. He is one of the more active and knowledgeable dealers in the country, and he deservedly has an excellent reputation among the many people who have done business with him. The fact that you might not know of him doesn't change any of that. My recommendation was based on having known and done business with him in face to face transactions over a period of many years. I wouldn't have vouched for him so strongly, based merely on internet transactions, without stating that that, alone, was the basis of my comments. Coins can turn all sorts of colors and undergo various changes (or not), based on what is done to them and the environmental conditions to which they are exposed. And the results can be both extremely inconsistent and unpredictable. You are being extremely unfair to the seller in stating that the coin is made of lead. Especially, based merely upon images, without having seen the coin in hand, and when the seller is an (honest) expert.[/QUOTE]
