[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 3795573, member: 83845"]Thanks everyone for the thoughts and advise. Many of you completely echo my own concerns. The heart of the matter is that, while I really like the coin, I am not at all confident in my ability to cure it of the disease. I don’t have a lot of experience in this area but to me the spread seems pretty extreme... not to mention I will always be nervous of this coin having another outbreak. Either way, I think someone (either me or the auction house) should try to save this coin. Thus my dilemma :( I think I will try to reach out to the auction house and see what they suggest. They are a well respected auction house that I have bought from many times so it will at least be instructive to me how they handle this. I realize it has been a few months since the auction but I’m not sure how I could be expected to immediately know about the issue with enough confidence to return it on a sooner timeline. I, like many others, store my coins away in a safe place and don’t have them on hand all the time. [USER=82549]@gsimonel[/USER] , if I put the coin immediately in distilled water do you think that will help keep the BD from spreading while I wait to hear back from the auction house? Depending on how that conversation goes I may very well take you up on your kind offer to speak via PM about next steps. Thank you. And thank you to everyone who has provided advise and thoughts above. I’ll keep you updated.[/QUOTE]
