<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 755038, member: 19423&quot;]Paid over $600 for a nice looking uncertified 1908-S IHC that the dealer told me was an MS64RD (A certified example should cost $1200-$1500). Several months later after showing it to some dealers who know the series, they told me the coin had been messed with and that it was artificial color. Still thinking they could be wrong (for some reason), I submitted the coin to PCGS and it came back in a bodybag for artificial color. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1908sIHCgn91obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1908sIHCgn91rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I now have the coin in a PCGS Genuine holder in my 1908-S grading set to hopefully help others and to remind myself of the importance of knowing what you&#039;re doing before dropping $600 on a coin, espeically one that is uncertified. It is also a reminder that when a deal seems too good to be true, it most likely is (not easy to buy a $1200-$1500 coin for $600).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
