<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1450208, member: 37356&quot;]I decided not to touch it.&nbsp; The seller didn&#039;t put it into anything, just wrapped it in newspaper.&nbsp; In another thread I talked about recent coin purchases at a coin dealer where I thought I overpaid and someone else besides the owner waited on me because he was busy.&nbsp; He showed me halves from the junk bin and tried to sell me them for $14 so I immediately didn&#039;t trust him.&nbsp; He said after I told him those were worth melt that &quot;they are worth what I say they are worth&quot;.&nbsp; So I said &quot;take them away then&quot;.&nbsp; I do get great deals from the owner though, got a 1898 VG barber quarter for $5 and $1 face of 1/2 roosies and 1/2 mercs not junk for $21.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Anyhow, I bought a couple air-tights one for this quarter, and they turned out to be dime holders and the quarter dropped in a not to desirable part of the carpet.&nbsp; So much for the guy that &quot;it is what I say it is&quot;.&nbsp; I just put it into a mylan flip and wiped that off good and stapled it shut for now.&nbsp; Is that alright to staple a mylan flip?&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t seem to move around now.&nbsp; I did see a little alcohol inside the flip but not anywhere near the coin.&nbsp; I did wish he packaged the coin properly though but do understand not everyone sells coins and he may just have this to get rid of it.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe a white-face coin makes it look like it is worth more, maybe less.&nbsp; What makes it worth more is the details.&nbsp; Speaking of which what grade would you give the details on the coin above?&nbsp; I got VF somewhere in the middle but the seller said XF.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
