<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 683643, member: 15309&quot;]Charmy,</p><p><br /></p><p>I did as much research on Lafayette Dollars as one can IMO.&nbsp; If you would like to read the thread I wrote about Lafayette Dollars before I purchased that coin, feel free:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t50032/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t50032/">http://www.cointalk.com/t50032/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I also solicited the opinion of the CT members prior to making my purchasing decision.&nbsp; Some of the input I was given helped me decide on my plan on how to handle the situation with Dave from CRO.&nbsp; You can read that thread here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t51115/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t51115/">http://www.cointalk.com/t51115/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW, I consider John Albanese&#039;s opinion and expert opinion.&nbsp; I don&#039;t personally know any numismatists who would have been able to assist me with this purchase.&nbsp; Even if I did, I doubt I would trust their opinion over JA&#039;s.&nbsp; Nobody is &quot;relying on a sticker to tell them that a particular coin is graded correctly.&quot;&nbsp; That sticker represents the opinion of one the leaders of the numismatic and grading community.&nbsp; If you have someone that you trust more, then that is great, I don&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, there is nothing about the coin that I don&#039;t like.&nbsp; I was simply being prudent in trying to strike the best deal I could for the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
