<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1533084, member: 28199&quot;]The case you cite doesn&#039;t really apply in this instance.&nbsp; Near as I can tell from reading some of the posts (the link to the article did not work for me) that was against a basement slabber who certified his coins as higher than they were.&nbsp; In your case, what you got what the dealer&#039;s <b>opinion</b> (not a certification) of what that coin would grade, and as you state, he graded it AU and it came back from ANACS as AU.&nbsp; The whizzing is pretty much irrelevant, since you didn&#039;t notice it either. And it would be difficult to prove you specifically asked if the coin was cleaned or whizzed, and he answered &quot;No&quot;.&nbsp; So, based on what you&#039;ve written here, and the support for your argument you just posted, I&#039;m sticking by my original assessment.</p><p><br /></p><p>And before we throw out the &quot;...He&#039;s a dealer, he should have known...&quot; argument, look at what the first line of the quote above says (<i><b>but the graded coins are usually sold above GS ask; so raw coins are a crapshoot but give you the only shot at making money or at least not losing, but also have the highest risk.</b></i>)&nbsp; It seems that you bought this coin with the intention of flipping for a profit, so what makes this any different than any other dealer.&nbsp; I agree with crapshoot analogy, but throw craps in Vegas and see if they give you back your bet.&nbsp; You win some, you lose some.&nbsp; If my thinking is correct, you rolled the dice thinking you could make some money, and didn&#039;t.&nbsp; This really isn&#039;t the dealer&#039;s fault.&nbsp; As a coin buyer, it falls upon you to know what you&#039;re looking at.&nbsp; Especially if you intend to profit from the deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
