<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Strikingsilverand gold, post: 2332053, member: 73150&quot;]Worse.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been burned (never again) on internet auctions where a consignor (selling through auctioneer) has numerically and adjectively done his own grading and also adding things such as FSB, FBL, DMPL, ect...&nbsp; When sent to professional grader (PCGS, NGC, ANACS) they came detailed no numerical value cleaned, polished, ect...I gambled on a 1919-D Mercury top featured coin by Rolling M auctions (coin specialist) that was neatly and freshly carded as 1919-D FSB MS64.&nbsp; Books list values of around $5000.&nbsp; Internet portion of the bidding was active as I pushed it to $1000.&nbsp; Surprisingly (maybe not) no one at the live auction made a bid.&nbsp; This auctioneer won a photography award from Proxiblog.&nbsp; I am still after his consignor, him and Proxibid for misrepresentation.&nbsp; The consignor could have purchased a slabbed detail from EBay then cracked it and recarded (fraud if proved).&nbsp; My stupidity you can say but I have told Proxibid to change their headline web from &quot;marketplace trust&quot; to &quot;buyer beware.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>A $1168 coin may be worth $100.&nbsp; Now it is showcased slab uncirculated improper cleaning.&nbsp; How pretty, huh?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
