<p>[QUOTE="NumisNinja, post: 3209085, member: 94566"]It sounds worse than it was. Keep in mind it was kind of a rushed deal sitting in a parked car on the side of the street. The guy had prices set ahead of time for everything. Either I said ok or no thanks and we moved on to the next item. The amount of time and thinking I put into seeing that coin in the 09S hole was minimal at the time as I was focused on so many other things. It comes down to the fact that I'm not obligated to determine everything the seller has before buying it. I can skim through and take a chance without careful examination.</p><p> </p><p>If I was a dealer and he came into me and asked how much I'd give him then that would be a different story. I'm also taking a chance on the coin being fake or details as I'm not an expert numismatist. So even offering him an extra $50 for it would be taking a risk imo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
