<p>[QUOTE="flintcreek6412, post: 1903970, member: 61025"]I would not be happy if I spent good money on a "perfect" coin and got less than perfect eye appeal for a slab flaw. I know it bugs me when I get a coin online where they focused past the scratches in the slab and I get a slab so beat up it really does detract from the eye appeal of the coin. That's the risk of older slabs that have been passed around a bit. But not something that was this new.</p><p><br /></p><p> I wouldn't blame the seller, buyer or ebay. IMO NGC put out an inferior product. Why the awful slab and not edgeview that present all coins so much better? Why the smudge? After 20+ years in business they should have a product that doesn't produce that problem. Would you all accept your $400 iPhone with a similar defect? Likely no. So why this coin? </p><p><br /></p><p>I bought an NGC slabbed modern to fill a type set spot. It's obvious it was sent in with a bulk submission and the seller never put hands on the coins, only the graders at NGC yet there was a big fingerprint on it that will certainly get uglier with time.

It's a shame the seller lost his huge profit margin but I wouldn't like the coin if the slab was not to my liking either. And I would probably send it back to. If I was buying a VF35 or something I wouldn't care, but a perfect coin MS70 I would want everything looking good and it has nothing to do with buyers remorse. It might be in this case, but there is no way to know for certain so why throw assumptions out there about this guys character. </p><p><br /></p><p>If the buyer started a thread first about getting the coin with a slab problem and said dealer should have disclosed it, 99% on here would agree with the post and slam the seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
