<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 946288, member: 26302&quot;]One other thing I would point out is that grades evolved as a mere descriptor of the level of preservation of a coin. There are no legal parameters of a grade. It is merely a way of trying to communicate a degree of preservation. In the old days they were important to accurately grade because advertisements did not have photos, therefor the grade was the way the seller could communicate the quality level of the coin to the buyer. If, when received, the buyer did not agree, he sent the coin back. Today, with photos it is much easier to show the person the coin, (assuming no hidden damage), and have them buy or not buy. No grade is needed except to help the buyer get an idea of how much they should pay. In person, the seller lets you inspect the coin. There is absolutely no recourse from the dealer from calling it whatever he likes. You saw the coin, you knew what it was, and if the dealer called it a XF and it was really a F, well you should have known that since you inspected it personally.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The comparisons you make are not the same, in this example the dealer showed you the coin, and then gave it to you when purchased. Same as an airline, you buy a seat and they flew you there. That is the true comparison. If you bought the coin sight unseen and disagreed with the grade, then I would agree you should have the right to send it back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
