<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 1679514, member: 22585&quot;]bq, that one doesn&#039;t count. It makes all of our &quot;deals&quot; invalid.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have had so many great deals on ebay, I couldn&#039;t post them all.</p><p>I will say, the majority of the deals occured due to terrible seller pics, or they simply didn&#039;t know what they have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two examples:</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a large lot of Canadian large cents. It was somewhere around $75. </p><p>Part of the description said &quot;no key dates&quot;.&nbsp; Considering this, the price was still very fair.</p><p>When it arrived, it was near complete, in addition to 20+ duplicates, and included the the best key date (1858). That&#039;s the first year for the large cent series. </p><p>A pretty nice one to boot! I feel it&#039;s a $150 coin. Some wonderful toned coins were also in there. Petro has since stole the toners from me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn13.coinnection.com/shared_2a6777a19b25dd1f5ff159f554bc48ad9450f82fe47d289.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a couple extreme examples of toners bought for melt, or very close to it. Due to very poor pictures, or a scanner was used.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://cdn3.sharemyco.in/shared_75972d9743662241426aa76b73a809390105109c78e6b15f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn6.sharemyco.in/shared_0a9610e6449a6007892a7f785b117f988950d6364f1ab30.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I realize toning is a personal preference and not for everyone. So what I consider a &quot;steal&quot; may differ from what others define it as.</p><p><br /></p><p>One more example:</p><p>Many folks know I am a raw collector. So it gets a little risky when buying older coins, and in high grade. </p><p>It doesn&#039;t always work out for me, but in this case, it certainly did:</p><p>This was XF money. My opinion is this is a gem.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://cdn6.sharemyco.in/shared_232f15de262e5c192fa051ab1c95e5fa38509f611a7d4a0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
