<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fusiafinch, post: 785770, member: 18382&quot;]It depends on what you buy from these advertisers. I&#039;ve learned the hard way that the coins they say are Brilliant Uncirculated are mostly dipped and sometimes have wear, but not all. It&#039;s a real mixed bag. I&#039;ve bought rolls of modern halves and quarters that looked original, but I&#039;ve also gotten silver dollars obviously overgraded. But I also buy the American Eagles from them..... didn&#039;t they just buy them from the Mint?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think a lot of the worn coins are OK, such as copper cents in Fine or Morgans in AU and advertised as such. You just have to be a smart buyer. But in my experience, I wouldn&#039;t buy any of the silver dollars from them advertised as BU. But I&#039;ve bought Mexican pesos in BU that were frosty original. They can&#039;t sell all junk, or no one would buy anymore. But they do seem to unload a lot of dipped coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a bit surprised that the major coin publications continue to give them ads, but they do bring in a lot of money. Like I said, they sell a mixed bag.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
