[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 7587173, member: 75143"]I purchased a large lot of 97 coins from Roma for L 72 + fees and shipping. I was expecting a nice assortment of lower grade coins. What I didn’t expect was a 91 cull/slag grade coins. These coins were not only horrible, but appeared to have been electrolyzed and “repatinated” with some greasy, motor-oil like substance. It came with 6 superior coins which were likely sprinkled in to keep it from being a complete waste of time. Roma should be embarrassed to sell these coins, especially when it wasn’t terribly clear from the pics or description just how horrific these are. I’m very disappointed and likely won’t get a large lot from them again. EDIT: My initial disappointment is tempered by my understanding that it's quite completely my failure to inspect the auction photos closely enough and so I paid the price. No shade to Roma, they sold and delivered what was advertised. [ATTACH=full]1307307[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1307308[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
