<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1390485, member: 22004"]Thanks. I examined a rare date gold coin one of the top buyers was offering at the Pittsburgh show that was in the same TPGS holder as MS62, if memory serves. I showed it to a sharp coin expert before making a decision. He said the coin had "white noise", i.e., subtle issues that would probably present a problem if cracked out. I think ANACS has some type of guarantee to replace a coin with a more acceptable one under certain circumstances, not monetary though to my knowledge. If it costs someone money to "guarantee" a coin, you have a different set of standards. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is always going to be a limitation of auction buying. You cannot examine the coin at various angles with a point or halogen light source.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
