[QUOTE="Arizona Jack, post: 346389, member: 9308"]Jeankay, Could you post pics? I'd hate to see you to continue to buy overgraded slabbers, even if you know what your getting. Even if your getting fair deals, it just encourages the shyster self slabbers. Big swings in price float around subtle differances in quality. If not careful...it's easy to get taken in by those "deals"..... Grading mint state copper is an art and is very difficult, it's not just marks or dingers that count. It is strike and originality that matters a whole lot as well, and being mark free may mislead. Various years have character traits and are ignored by most people, who just count the dings. A soft struck mark free coin cannot grade a 65 by any standard, or one that has been dipped or recolored.
