Good info in this thread on coin doctoring. Thank you!

 

You don't know what it is under the putty. It could have significant issues and might be a circulated, details grade coins. Those don't sell for much more than melt, do they?

 

My mistake, I was thinking it was MS62. Ya, I would have paid closer to $400 or a little over for 63.

 

Dang I was thinking the same thing

 

You seem to have a lot of hate for eBay buyers. Have you had a whole lot of problems with buyers?

 

I have very few issues with buyers, but do you not agree that is a terrible claim to file? A seller selling a graded coin should feel confident there will be no issues for item not as described as long as they do indeed ship what is pictured. I think you seem to have more issues with me than I do with most buyers

 

I was just curious because you have made multiple "hate buyers" statements. I was wondering if this was theoretical hate or hate from real world experiences.

As for it being a terrible claim I would agree to a point. If someone sold you a coin on eBay from a realistic photo (ie the coin looks in hand like from the photo) then it would be a terrible claim. But if you sold me this (my coin)


And sent me this


Then I would feel that the picture was misrepresentive. In general though we are in agreement that it sucks to send properly photoed coins back that are big 2 certified.

 

I have had a few bad buyers that spoil the bay experience. I had a guy file a claim for not as described saying a coin came back cleaned from pcgs. I pointed out I said it was cleaned in the description, and he said he didn't read the description. Doh!

 

Let me get this straight. Someone ignored what you wrote and it caused a negative outcome for you and you found the experience upsetting?
