[QUOTE="Romanvs.Coinicvs, post: 7939221, member: 124974"]Some very good suggestions observations here; thank you. I do want to clarify, this wasn’t a lot of crusty coins. This was a $200 lot of very nice LRBs (the good ones: well centered with complete inscriptions, strong, crisp details from good strikes, etc.). I think most would sell from $30 to $60 based on scarcity, condition, etc., from what I am seeing on Vcoins and MA-shops for similar examples. The reason I want know how to deal with situations like this is, I am now working towards coins in the $100/$200 range. I am not too trusting, and I believe in verifying everything. I have a higher trust level on Vcoins, for example, but I have also read threads here at CT that refer to still-current sellers on that site who have, at least in the past, “enhanced” coins’ patinas (my lot was not purchased from any of these sellers). Again, thanks to everyone for the opinions/suggestions.[/QUOTE]
