[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2850190, member: 15929"]True but, isn't this what experienced buyers/collectors call....cherrypicking? I've looked at some ebay photo's and took a chance (my lottery ticket) that I was actually looking at a nice variety. When the coin arrives I make a mental note about seeing things. Again! In those cases, I NEVER return my mistake. BUT, if a different coin is sent, then back it goes. I do keep copies of the ebay photo's for reference. As for newbies? All they ever read are thousands of great find stories but the reality of the matter is that the "great finds" are perhaps 1/1000th of all purchases. Newbies do not understand this and, consequently, pay a heavy tuition to the School of Hard Knocks. Again, "Unsearched" is an open ended word and extremely difficult to prove.[/QUOTE]
