<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 1826612, member: 43130&quot;]I cherrypick because it&#039;s one way I pay my bills since this is my only job, and <i><b>I took the time and effort to educate myself - so naturally I&#039;m going to use my skill and knowledge when I buy.</b></i></p><p>Now, a couple weeks ago a well-known eBay seller of large cents won a classic head 1812 from me for $63 and my first thought was, &quot;Uh oh. I made a mistake.&quot; Because I knew if HE was buying it, then it was a better variety. Sure enough, there were die cracks that I missed that indicated a tougher variety. - So for once, I got cherrypicked. Was I mad? No! I take it as a learning experience that I need to be more careful and continue my own education! In other words,<b><i> it&#039;s on ME</i></b> if I lost out on another $100... or whatever amount.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that. Whenever I see a coin I&#039;m not interested in that is unidentified, I always inform the seller. I did this at the last Baltimore Expo, when I saw a DDO 1883 shield nickel in XF. I didn&#039;t want/need it, and to me it was already priced too high, despite the DDO. But I showed it to the dealer and he thanked me an re-priced the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
