<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2902933, member: 74282&quot;]Even more advanced collectors look for strange and interesting varieties and sometimes that means going out on a limb and taking a chance. I bought a Victoriatus from Vcoins a while back that I thought could be a new unpublished fully-anonymous(i.e. no mintmark) variety of a type. I knew in the back of my mind I was taking a chance on it and I felt the whole time that I must be missing something because a fully-anonymous variety like this didn&#039;t fit into the timeline and evidence for these types that I&#039;d worked out in my notes but it was too interesting to pass up.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I got it in I realized it was an authentic coin but someone had, either inadvertently or purposefully, removed the mintmark during cleaning. A die match later confirmed this and it was back on its way to the dealer for a refund. I had a feeling in the back of my mind that it was probably something like that but my curiosity got the best of me. Most times this curiosity pays off but sometimes it leads me astray.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
