<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 755111, member: 19423"]Yeah, that's what some of the experts suggested. Leave it raw in my window with the sun blasting on it for awhile and it should tone up/darken. I decided just to slab it as is in a Genuine holder though since I still sort of like the coin, even though it's maybe worth half what I paid as it is.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Another somewhat dumb thing I've done was buy $1700 or so worth of junk silver off of someone on the Collector's Universe Buy Sell Trade forum from a new member with very few posts. It was a good deal, but not so good to where I thought it was a scam. Apparently the same person accepted offers from several people on the same lot and never shipped any silver to anyone. Luckily, I and most of the others used credit cards via PayPal so we got our money back from our credit card companies. PayPal found in our favor too, but by that time the seller had taken all of the money out of paypal and PayPal wouldn't pay a dime to anyone. So if you did PayPal from your existing balance or from your bank account you got screwed. Now, for any coin purchase on the Internet from someone I haven't dealt with before, I'll only use PayPal funded by my credit card to be safe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
