<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1015401, member: 26302"]You are lucky. Many dealers would not have returned it. I think what you say about not having enough time to decide on a purchase is fair, but not if that time includes grading. If you wish to collect coins, you simply MUST be able to grade a coin in a few seconds for circulated, maybe a little longer for uncirculated. WHat I am saying is that you should have been able to see this coin is overgraded within 5 seconds of seeing it, have time to ask the dealer about the grade, THEN take your time on whether you wish to purchase it. If you cannot baseline the grade quickly, then the entire purchase decision becomes too time consuming and complex, something you say you do not have time for. By a photograde book, study hard, then start grading coins from auctions and see if you agree or disagree. Its work, but if you love coins its the best kind of work in the world! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Best of luck in your journey.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
