<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1533116, member: 22004&quot;]In the case of the dealer in question, he agreed it was the same, thought it was a nice coin as AU, and disagreed vociferously or rather tried to laugh it off.&nbsp; I subsequently showed the coin in and out of the holder to others who thought it was whizzed.&nbsp; So yes, I made a mistake but an 1829 H10c in an AU details holder is not worth anything near what it is worth as an AU.</p><p><br /></p><p>The CU thread deals with companies such as Numisgroup which sent out raw material and attached grades to the raw coins.&nbsp; They were held liable, both Paul Montgomery and Mr. Swiatek, if memory serves, testified that the objectivity of coin grading may be open to minor debate, but cleaned and other problem material prevent any significant marketability of the problem material.&nbsp; It&#039;s one thing if someone offers coins &quot;as is&quot; as with cars or other sold merchandise acknowledging the problem, it is quite another for supposed experts to be hailing their material as nice and high end when an objective judgement proves otherwise.&nbsp;&nbsp; What other business is there where such discrepancies pass so regularly?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
