<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 3244036, member: 13650"]At our local show there's many different types of dealers. Some sell mostly loose. Some sell a mix. Some sell all slabs or almost all slabs. Depends on what the dealer wants to deal in. The show doesn't control what the dealer feels like dealing in. I'm starting to get put off by loose coins. Last show there was a batch of ungraded coins in a tray. Then I saw the bright shiny object in the middle. It was a 1917 Standing Liberty quarter that looked like it was minted yesterday. I looked at it hard. It was blast white. Probably dipped but I didn't see any noticeable cleaning marks on it. All rivets there. Not FH but decent strike. Luster looked good. Was thinking MS64 maybe 65 if lucky....</p><p> </p><p> Long story short, it's on it's way back from NGC now. AU details Cleaned. Over paid for the gamble. Now I'll have to decide whether to sell it and try to get half my money back or just keep it. It wouldn't surprise me if it had been through one of the TPGs before and somebody cracked it out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
