<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2534866, member: 71338"]I purchased one of those older (not sure how old) Dansco pop-in folders for Australian 20 and 50 cent pieces. There were many coins, maybe 13 or 14 face and i bought them for 21 free ship. If the coins were undamaged, i wouldve got a great deal. However, blue corrosion (bright blue, powdery in a lot of cases, and small-medium sized spots of metal has corroded under this verdigris) was along the edges and on parts of the reverses of virtually every coin. I threw away the 20 cent pieces becuase i dont want them infecting my poundage, and the half dollars im keeping for selling at hopefully half face. Everything was quite common so i wont even bother attempting to conserve anything. Potholes everywhere will show up in the best scenario. </p><p><br /></p><p>1) should a seller know about this corrosion and mention it? It was very hard to see anything amiss in pics but easier to see some indication of damage in person. </p><p><br /></p><p>2) should he know about the tape that was used by the previous owner for all the halves? </p><p><br /></p><p>Please see pics below. I'm just curious what you think about this bad deal. The seller says no returns after coins are removed from original holder, so i think i couldnt get a refund even if i wanted to. This was just a small loss that I'll get over, but it bothers me a tad because i would have offered a better description if i sold it. In fact, i wouldnt have sold it judging the condition of the coins just by a cursory look. I'll never use these dansco type folders after seeing this mess.[ATTACH=full]542202[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]542203[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
