<p>[QUOTE="Dave L, post: 1052694, member: 26285"]Yes, these are seriously overgraded. You can see that they're scheisters from the get go. What get's me as well are those who tell you to "grade for yourself" from a bad photo, or worse yet, a guy who sells banknotes predominately yet tells you to grade yourself because he doesn't grade paper money. I mean c'mon - a guy sells tons of paper money, but doesn't know how to grade, yet tells you that you should grade yourself from a bad photo? That should send everyone to anyone else, but they keep on selling and have an evidently decent business going as they stay open. I happen on them once in a while when looking around. ANother thing is the term "Choice" which I've seen applied to notes as low as Fine. CH-F for example. I know that choice is supposed to mean that it has all the elements needed for that grade, but it makes it sound better, and though it's only a selling point (like gas being $3.279 instead of $3.28) it seems slimy and I avoid them to. Choice AU or Choice UNC seems ok to me, but otherwise it sounds sleezy to me. </p><p> </p><p>Well, it all goes back to basics- learn to grade yourself and buy from reputable dealers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
