<p>[QUOTE="Arcane76, post: 4935832, member: 113565"]Thanks you very much [USER=94733]@Mountain Man[/USER]! I wish they vetted them. Sometimes it feels they do and that is why photos are at odd angle or not taken of one side of a coin or the other( as in they see the cleaning and or damage and post the “good” side or angle of the coins).I have sold coins before on eBay, but any issue the coin had I took pictures and made it obvious. The coins still sold and I had lots of positive feedback because no one felt cheated or that I withheld information. I have won other auctions in times past on TPG coins. Get them in hand and they have scratches or cleaning etc but are “MS”( I didn’t want to go on a rant, but...). It seems like, an it’s an opinion, that a small fry like myself sends a coin in and it’s gets rejected for a small scratch. But a big name place sends in a coin that has very obvious issues gets graded and slabbed. Pictures are taken and “possibly” touched up. I understand wanting to get the best light, best pic etc. After all the idea is to sell coins. But possibly omitting or concealing faults is annoying at the very least to the end consumer/collector. Sorry for the long rant! Thank you again![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
