<p>[QUOTE="Neptune, post: 4, member: 72"]I didn't notice the no returns, but thought the $9 was a little steep for shipping. I am somewhat new to collecting coins on the internet, and have been reading alot about eBay scams with coins - and folks selling cleaned coins, and guess I just didn't want to get scammed. Layed in bed thinking about it, and as an afterthought, thought I would email him and ask. Thought it was a good deal, so of course, wondered "what was wrong" -- and didn't want to bid or overbid on cleaned coins. Guess I was just being cautious. Will continue to be cautious too! Hope I don't offend anyone, but I feel it is better to ask than to find out after the fact! Also figured if he said "a couple" - that may have meant at least 3 or 4 out of the 10.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I just got some Kennedy's that were supposedly from an estate. After receiving them, I noticed that most of them look pretty good (I don't know how to grade coins except using Photograde). Now I am wondering why aren't the 2 x 2 holders <b><span style="color: yellow">"yellowed" </span></b>with age. Did they put the coins in the 2 x 2's just recently to sell them on eBay? Or were they just stored in a way that the 2 x 2's did not yellow since 1964. (that I doubt).</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't mind if they were properly dipped, but would like to know if they were -- or not -- and I have NO clue how to tell. I will post a pic later, and maybe somebody can tell me what they think, when I get a chance. The Seller, is on vacation, but I am going to email them soon with a question about that, so he will have it when he gets back. I already sent him an email earlier about his inflated shipping charges (one of my pet peeves).</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, maybe somebody can give me an idea of approx. what this coin might grade as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
