<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2133263, member: 19463"]I have that problem, too. I would not send a coin that I did not have some doubts about so I see myself throwing good money after bad. I also see no benefit in rushing the decision. I'd like to think any coin I sent in took them more than a second to determine one way or another. Still I'd rather have a coin returned as unable to determine than have them guess. Most of us have coins of which we are less than 100% certain. If I sent a coin off and they said it would good, would I be able to erase all traces of doubt I had? Certainly they could turn a coin that I considered 50-50 into one I'd call 90-10 but 100% certain is very, very certain. What would Sear have said about the first Domitian II coin before they found the second one? This hobby is not a good fit for those who require absolutes in dating, grading and even authenticity. We do the best we can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
