[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4875581, member: 110226"]Try to keep expectations at a reasonable level, and if there are any issues that make you really unhappy with the coin return it. I try to take a relativistic approach, trying to be as objective as possible (good luck with that!). Lots of variables affect how a coin appears as an image as opposed to the Real McCoy in hand. Also, other factors, such as rarity and price paid come into the mix. I have been somewhat disappointed in the past, but I really have not done much in terms of returns. On the whole my purchases have been good ones, on the average, with some really good ones and some not-so-good at either end of the spectrum. We collect very old coins. Lots of things have happened to them on their journeys to our collections. If a coin arrives and appears to be more encrusted, or somewhat darker, or has some old scrapes, that's okay with me. However, if a coin has been altered or misrepresented, well, that's a whole different issue.[/QUOTE]
