<p>[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 2216809, member: 15488"]Several months ago I won an auction for about $200. The coin was certified MS64 by PCGS and the seller's photo showed what appeared to be an area that was toned. He even described it as toned in his description. When I got the coin, I could easily see that the area of toning was in fact, black corrosion. The way the photo was taken did not reveal this. When I immediately requested permission to return the coin. The seller threw a fit!. Told me that the coin was graded by the highly respected PCGS and that I didn't know anything about grading. After explaining that I didn't question the grade, but I didn't want a coin with corrosion, no matter what the grade, and no matter who graded it, he agreed to take it back. He also told me to never bid on any of his auctions again! I sent it back and later purchased a much, much nicer, problem free coin from another seller. Cost me more but I was very happy with the second coin. Ebay pics don't always revel everything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
