<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PennyGuy, post: 676091, member: 17502&quot;]If I had to guess I&#039;d pick Coast to Coast as the dealer you are talking about.&nbsp; That dealer publishes a defination of the terms he uses to describe coins.&nbsp; That said, make darn sure what ever dealer has the coins you are looking at has a solid return policy, without restocking fees, etc.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As collectors we have to be caution about self defined condition ratings of coins.&nbsp; You also have to watch out for clieaned or dipped coins, done to bump up the rating and the revenue.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would advise that if you really have to have that coin, make sure you can detect cleaning, and be sure there is a return policy you can live with.&nbsp; The best insurance you can get is to research, then research again.&nbsp; Check against good references, such as the TPG&#039;s sites and compare coins and grades, etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good Luck :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
