<p>[QUOTE="Vertigo, post: 8085758, member: 118430"]This guy is a roundtable authorized dealer. Idk what this roundtable dealer thing is. But this is the second authorized roundtable dealer I've spotted on ebay doing something dishonest. Not going to name names here but there is another one. He is a well respected numismatist here in New England. Yet on eBay in his auctions he adjusts contrast to hide flaws. He will disclose light cleaning, but hides it. I bought one from him he said wasn't. In hand it was plain obvious. I bought it because I trusted his reputation. I returned it because it was junk and he was dishonest. The coin was a fine and he submitted to ngc and got a straight f15 grade. Even the ngc pictures showed the obverse wipe. Not the first cleaned cbh straight graded. So he was selling it now in the slab. You put the picture side by side and you can see there was some adjustment. Because the white on the slab in the ngc pictures and the white in his were different. The coin even looked like it did in his old pictures but nothing like the ngc pictures. I'm sure he sold that to someone who buys the slab. I don't trust even the best on the bay...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
