<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ronnie58, post: 2962289, member: 90698&quot;]I have just become very alarmed this evening shopping on eBay for an 1827 Capped Bust Dime.&nbsp; One of the nicest raw, affordable and otherwise original listings appears &#039;off&#039; somehow, and the more I look at it I realize that it has been oiled to &#039;improve&#039; the appearance.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; Looking at the seller&#039;s other raw coins it seems that they are doing this to most of their available stock, often only lightly, but once you see it you know.&nbsp; This is tragic as there are many high grade IHCs along with numerous other quality 19th c. and early 20th c. coins. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; They need to be stopped, but I am not sure what the protocol is for this in the numismatic world, if any?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Some research shows they have been in business since at least 2005 and have nearly 40,000 eBay transactions.&nbsp; So I doubt that a receiving a single complaint from am individual would matter.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
