<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 310726, member: 11467&quot;]Sorry, but saying a coin is not BU because it has scratches, is incorrect, at least based on the grading scale that is used for uncirculated coins. There are countless coins with scratches that are graded MS60 and higher (some of them considerably higher) in the holders of the most highly respected grading companies. Look at typical MS60-MS62 $10 and $20 Liberty gold coins among the many other types. As just one way in which it can occur, uncirculated coins can acquire scratches from hitting each other in original mint bags.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Based on the above and a number of other posts, I think the seller is being treated extremely unfairly in this thread. While I believe that the coin&#039;s color might not be original, I can&#039;t tell for certain. We&#039;re viewing two sets of images which look very different and it&#039;s hard to determine what the coin really looks like.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, we don&#039;t know that the seller manipulated his images. Often times a small difference in lighting and/or the camera and/or the placement of a coin for imaging can result in marks/flaws showing in some images and not others. It happens to me all the time when I image my coins and it&#039;s not intentional. I happen to think the coin looks better in the original poster&#039;s images than it does in the Ebay listing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A shipping charge of $6 doesn&#039;t strike me as outrageous either. Furthermore, the seller even stared in his listing how the item would be shipped and what the charge would be. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t know who the seller is, and as much as I am eager to slam those who I think deserve it, this seller is not one of them. Sadly, I think that this thread is an example of some misinformation, over reacting and unfair treatment of a stranger by participants on an internet chat forum.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>OK, I am now leaving to go put my flame suit on.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
