<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1200634, member: 27832&quot;]Heh. One of those lots of &quot;older and more desirable coins&quot; apparently bounced -- seems as though they weren&#039;t as &quot;old and desirable&quot; as they were originally billed:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Coin-collection-better-dates-and-grades-/260798822039?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item3cb8d23697#ht_1015wt_1026" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Coin-collection-better-dates-and-grades-/260798822039?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item3cb8d23697#ht_1015wt_1026" rel="nofollow">Coin collection: better dates and grades []</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The AU 1925 dime ($20) actually turned out to be a 1935 ($5). The 1864L cent ($51) turned out to be non-L ($8), and the &quot;AU&quot; 1859 quarter ($180) turned out to be scratched ($melt). Looks like the lot won&#039;t get bid up quite so high the second time around. So why didn&#039;t I get sucked in on that one? Three reasons -- I was busy with the one I <i>did</i> bid on, I wasn&#039;t confident about my ability to valuate IHCs, and I never, ever, <i>ever</i> trust the grade written on a 2x2 or make assumptions about a side that isn&#039;t shown.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, though, her garish purple AT coins are still selling like hotcakes -- butter- and blueberry-syrup-slimed hotcakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
