<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1194033, member: 26030"]Hey Illini, Thank you so much for the vote and feedback. Yes the dealer offers a full money back return privledge. I know that this particular dealer struggles with the photos. Here is another shot of the 1910. I admit that I can't say I fully understand why PCGS grades something the way they do, and I bet if most people submitted a coin 3 times, they would get 3 different grades. The good news is for the 1910, the difference in PCGS list price between a 64RB and a 64RD is only $150 (the tightest premium for a RD over a RB MPL in the whole series). So at least, we are not talking about a huge difference in price if the 1910 was truely a RB (which it could be right now ... or may become over the next 10 to 20 years as the coin slowly ages). I agree that seeing a coin in your hand is the only way to determine if you truly like it, so a rock solid return policy is a must. By the way, the dealer told me the photo below does not do the coin justice, but might give another view of the color.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]125402.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It is sort of amusing though. I try to buy something raw and i get the advice ... "don't buy anything raw, buy something graded by PCGS, the premier coin grader". Then when I look at PCGS graded coins I get the advice that ... "the assigned grade and/or color is wrong". I guess that is what happens when you look at something that is an art and not a science. It's sort of what the guy that was selling the raw matte proof was telling me about TPGs and why he swore them off. This certainly is a difficult area of numismatics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
