[QUOTE="jfscmedic, post: 2565231, member: 82941"]What's your biggest horror story that you have seen someone do with coins ? I'll share a couple of mine. One guy was putting together sets in albums and he Bought most of his key dates slabbed and graded by PCGS and NGC so he knew they were genuine. But he cracked all the Key dates out of the slabs and put the coins in the albums...keeping the label out of each slab. When he brought the sets in to sell he expected to get full greysheet for the key dates but the dealer had to explain that once the coin comes out of the slab it's a raw coin and would have to be regraded to determine their values. Another young man inherited some beautiful original copper coins..old Large Cents..Half Cents 2-Cent pieces etc from his father. He decided to sell them but before bringing them into the local coin dealer He figured he would shine them up to make them look nice. So he bought some Brasso and polished almost every coin to a horrible orange color. :arghh:[/QUOTE]
