<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jandj, post: 100443, member: 83441&quot;]Now I gotcha!&nbsp; Duh......&nbsp; Don&#039;t buy the slab, buy the coin!&nbsp; That makes sense and I will practice that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I e-mailed the sellers from Ebay to share my dissapointment. The seller of the Penny says that it is a thin copper layer and some of the zinc is showing through. Is that the case?</p><p><br /></p><p>I will always have lessons to learn.&nbsp; A quick funny story goes back about 8 years ago when my wife and I went to a very large Fleamarket in town, we had the Redbook of coin prices in hand and felt we could not lose.&nbsp; We went over to one of the four coin stands there and started our hunt.&nbsp; Well lookie thar a ONE POUND silver eagle! At silver weight alone with the current price per oz. There was no way we could...........lose?&nbsp; About a week later while sitting on my couch, looking over my coin, I looked at the edge of the coin and found ONE TROY POUND.&nbsp; After I learned what a TROY POUND was, I had a new outlook on my knowledge of coins.&nbsp; I just wonder why I can&#039;t come out with a RUJAM POUND.&nbsp; I just wish I could buy 10 slabbed coins and have all 10 turn out to be what they say they are.&nbsp; So far I have gotten a few that could grade even higher, but those a few and far between.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
