<p>[QUOTE="bernard55, post: 8119911, member: 114733"]that makes sense. makes me wonder who is buying the raw coins from these third rate auction sites... if you look at some of <a href="https://www.proxibid.com/Silver-City-Auctions/December-22-Silver-City-Rare-Coin-Currency/event-catalog/213537" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.proxibid.com/Silver-City-Auctions/December-22-Silver-City-Rare-Coin-Currency/event-catalog/213537" rel="nofollow">these photos</a> (or <a href="https://www.proxibid.com/JP-Auctions-LLC/Tuesday-Morgan-Peace-Mix-122121/event-catalog/213943" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.proxibid.com/JP-Auctions-LLC/Tuesday-Morgan-Peace-Mix-122121/event-catalog/213943" rel="nofollow">these</a>, and <a href="https://www.proxibid.com/Key-Date-Coins/Happy-Holiday-s-Coin-Consignment-Auction-3-of-3/event-catalog/212303" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.proxibid.com/Key-Date-Coins/Happy-Holiday-s-Coin-Consignment-Auction-3-of-3/event-catalog/212303" rel="nofollow">these</a>) it's difficult to tell if the coin has been altered... if the photo has been altered... if the coin has been cleaned... if the coin is a 58 or a 62... seems like the customers that frequent these online raw coin auctions are being taken by con artists and that can't be great for the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
