<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wyattreally, post: 111700, member: 4785&quot;]Well they were clearly whizzed in the photo ... the problem is that I wasn&#039;t sure.&nbsp; I really should have only bought one because I only needed one to be sure what a whizzed coin looks like.&nbsp; I took the chance on these coins because a) maybe shiny meant nice and b) they were cheap and c) the only way to know for sure is to hold it in my hand and if I had only bought one it would have been a small price to pay for experience (I have no coin dealers anywhere near me so the internet is it).&nbsp; The stupidity is mine in buying TWO of his coins.&nbsp; As for the dealer the coins were clearly photographed in a large enough size that anyone on Coin Talk would have known they were whizzed and he never claimed a grade for them.&nbsp; Now he might have been a tad more honest about if he had said &quot;over cleaned well whizzed coins&quot; but then I think he wouldn&#039;t have sold them at all. I mean there was nothing to stop him setting them out in a coin case in a store and hoping someone would pick them up one day.&nbsp; And someone probably would have... eventually.&nbsp; So I suppose you could say he&#039;s less than scrupulous but then he wasn&#039;t entirely dishonest.&nbsp; The photos showed whizzed coins and only a novice would have bought them. *grin*[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
