<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 1171228, member: 22602&quot;]Winged, I enjoy your posts and have a couple of comments about this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to participate in the ebay Coin discussion board and, when I once wrote that I typically returned most of the coins I won on ebay, incurred the wrath of all the dealers who participate there (and there were many). According to them, ebay&#039;s return policy is only begrudgingly agreed to by them, a necessary requirement of doing business, and they emphatically said that ebay is not a forum for buying coins on an &quot;approval basis.&quot; I thought you might find this interesting. In my experience, dealers, with their razor-thin margins, get very angry with buyers who, in their minds, &quot;take advantage of&quot; ebay&#039;s buyer-friendly environment.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My sense about this toner is that it&#039;s very common. I have to credit this thread over the last six months with educating me about this. Matte charcoal areas represent the final stage of toning (tarnish) and are therefore not desirable. While I think your coin has a really attractive, natural look, I&#039;m afraid that once you get it in hand you&#039;re going to find that these areas are such end-of-line tarnish.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Looking forward to them! I&#039;ll be curious to see how they compare with the seller&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
