<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 638916, member: 15110"]Carl- that's just what I was about to say. I only submit if I post here or show my dealer. My dealer is right at least 9/10 times or so. The handful of coins he told me where "iffy" did NOT grade. If he said it would grade it DID everytime and pretty fairly I might add (all at PCGS). If you posted photos we could give you much better info. Use a digital camera and do "digital macros setting". It takes a LOT of practice but worth it. The people here have saved me personally a lot of money in preventing potential problems and identifying the nature of my own mistakes through the use of photos. If it's any consellation, I have made mistakes from selling at the wrong time (gold) to cleaning mistakes, to bad purchases that total in the Thousands!!. One more for the numismatic tool box. :-( PS I have spent about $600ish or so in lacquered coins on ebay through deceptive photos only to figure out much later. You got off easy here!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
