<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1409769, member: 21705&quot;]One of the hazzards of being a novice is not understanding the difference between what they think of as little wear and what a dealer thinks of as little wear. Novices have seen very few coins of that age and the ones he has seen are usually AG-G AND/OR damaged. So to them a VF coin looks almost new. A dealer has seen hundreds or thousands and only the nicest ones stand out in his memory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if the 3 cent piece really looks that much better in person than the photo, then you now know why many will not even try to estimate the grade from photos. But if the dealer let you walk out without upping the offer, then I suspect the grade will be toward the lower end of the range suggested. A truly devious dealer wouldn&#039;t let the cash slip away without upping the price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
