[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 822057, member: 13650"]In a nutshell, it's been great, bad and in between. When I started, I pretty much wanted everything I saw. Couldn't properly identify problem coins including cleaned ones. Ended up buying some that I wouldn't buy now. Have had to send a couple back. One over funny lighting that hid the cleaning it had. Another auction, I got something different than was pictured. It had a nick in it that had been filled. Wasn't mentioned or pictured. So it went back too. Much more pickier now. Now I have a very hard time finding anything halfway decent on there. Really. For a while I was just looking for an average 1914 buffalo nickel with a clear date. I didn't find one for a long time. Every one I looked at had problems I didn't like. On the other hand, I got one just recently off there that may be my new favorite of my collection. Very, very happy with the purchase. You just have to know how to search for the good stuff. ;)[/QUOTE]
