<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1555686, member: 11854&quot;]When I was a kid and first started to collect, in the mid-1970s, ordering from ads in magazines was the way to obtain most coins.&nbsp; Almost universally, the coin shipped was significantly worse than advertised.&nbsp; Most folks do not want the hassle of returning something they have ordered so I think some dealers use this inertia as a method to get rid of less desirable coinage.&nbsp; Obviously, things have changed since the mid-1970s, but I still view many of these ads as being specifically targetted at newer collectors who are likely less knowledgeable and will not so readily realize they paid too much for a substandard coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
