<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2659202, member: 74282&quot;]Sorry about the coin, RO. I know it can be discouraging and I always hate to see doubts about a coin someone is proud of.</p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased a coin earlier this month that I was very excited about and was looking forward to sharing here only to realize as soon as I looked at it in-hand that it appeared to have possibly been altered either because of overzealous cleaning or potentially to make it appear to be a rare variant. Less 24 hours later I was packaging it up to be sent back after consulting with experts and deciding that while there was no consensus, I would never be comfortable with that coin, nor would I ever be comfortable selling it to another collector. I really hate sending it back and that I didn&#039;t spot those signs earlier but it was a learning experience and luckily I purchased it from a good dealer who didn&#039;t give me any problems when I asked to return it and explained my reasons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
