<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2480313, member: 19250&quot;]A lesson&nbsp; learned for all of us, by another member expense .&nbsp; I will agree with Doug that coins below Au. Shouldn&#039;t&nbsp; be dipped. But after many years of collecting&nbsp; I can honestly&nbsp; say yes I&#039;ve&nbsp; been taken by a coin with damage pvc or other .</p><p>I myself usually&nbsp; only buy xf or better coins when it comes to Morgan&nbsp; and Peace dollars I won&#039;t&nbsp; go below an Au.</p><p>when I do purchase a xf coin I make sure that the coin I&#039;m&nbsp; buying&nbsp; is worth the money I&#039;m&nbsp; about to lay down for it.</p><p>If you&#039;re&nbsp; the type that doesn&#039;t&nbsp; trust you eye to what you&#039;re&nbsp; buying raw&nbsp; you are at the mercy of trusting a TPG.</p><p>Since the human factor is a major part of the process we must go into buying a coin with both eyes wide open, be it raw or graded.</p><p>Honestly&nbsp; I believe&nbsp; most collectors&nbsp; use the TPG as a crutch,&nbsp; using the slab more so then how the coin truly looks.</p><p>We all have seen this many times here on CT by both rookies as well as collectors&nbsp; whom have been in the hobby&nbsp; for years.</p><p>My regrets&nbsp; to the OP as they didn&#039;t&nbsp; get what they paid for from both the seller as well as the company&nbsp; that did this to this specimen .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
