<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 2159381, member: 56370&quot;]This has been a common thread throughout my recent experiences buying on Ebay.&nbsp; There have been a number of times when I have gotten certified coins with scratches, spots and other problems that weren&#039;t apparent in the photos.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind that coins can &quot;turn&quot; in their holders after being graded, particularly if not rinsed properly after a dip, so be especially careful when buying blast white MS coins.&nbsp; If the problem wasn&#039;t there when the graders looked at it, you may in fact have a &quot;details&quot; coin even though the holder is problem free.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins with dings or scratches may still qualify as &quot;problem free&quot; but are likely worth less than &quot;cleaner&quot; examples the same numerical grade.&nbsp; So if these issues do not show up in the photos and you are bidding on the coin in an open auction, you are probably paying more due to the coin being not as described.&nbsp; Therefore I have no qualms about returning coins if not satisfied.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that Ebay auctions are good dumping ground for these types of coins which would explain why I&#039;ve seen them more than once.&nbsp; And if this pertains to certified coins, I can only imagine what kind of dreck can be found in the &quot;unsearched rolls&quot; and &quot;estate finds&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
