<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 649496, member: 7638&quot;]Thanks for sharing your experiences. Some of the BU coins I submitted came back as MS62-63, so they were properly described, but they were fairly common Morgans.&nbsp; On the real keys, though, I could almost count on the BU ones being AU sliders. I once placed a $4,000 order with a seller whose name can be re-arranged to spell &quot;slum pisa&quot; and wound up returning the whole thing. Most egregious was an xf, cleaned $3 Indian described as &#039;BU&#039; and also a stripped AU Trade Dollar billed as &quot;BU.&quot; My 1886 nickel bought as BU was rejected by ICG as &#039;cleaned.&#039; Another time, they sent me a reverse mm Walker instead of the scarcer obverse mm I had paid for. It was months before I detected the problem, and I had had the coin slabbed. To their credit, the seller took the coin back and sent me an acceptable replacement. So much for the multi-page ad sellers that CW loves and tolerates because of the ad revenues. Another one of numismatics &quot;dirty little secrets&quot; that (wink, wink) Everyone knows about except the new collector. Hopefully, forums like this one can change collector behavior.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
