<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samsara15, post: 785812, member: 21655&quot;]Years ago, I bought a few coins (two and three cent pieces, copper nickel Indian cents) from some of those Coin World advertisers we have been discussing, that were advertised as &#039;Choice BU&#039;, had them graded by a grading service, and got back grades around of AU-50 or AU-53 (odd grade, in itself) from the grading services.&nbsp;&nbsp; Price considered, they were not that bad of a buy, but very decidely not what they were advertised to be.&nbsp; You get what you pay for, if your are wise and/or fortunate.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I once owned a very nice looking 1857 Flying Indian Cent that had been whizzed, that a grading servide returned to me as a VF-35, and have also owned a lovely 1928 Standing Liberty Quarter with PVC damage that the grading services body-bagged.&nbsp; You get burnt, now and then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
