<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1603813, member: 11854&quot;]I&#039;m not going to slam you about either coin, but must state that the CBH looks like an awful, stripped coin in the TT images so I am not exactly certain what you may have thought you would receive.&nbsp; The scratches in the slab for the dime might be bothersome, but you can get many of these out with some light elbow grease, which would save you the expense of a reholder.&nbsp; A reholder for a coin of this value is a substantial extra investment.</p><p><br /></p><p>At this point I think it a good idea to mention that auctions carry a very real downside in that you likely did not see this coin in-hand and did not have a reliable dealer or other set of experienced eyes inspect the coin for you.&nbsp; While it might be a challenge to buy via online auctions and you may feel as though you are getting a bargain or a deal when you win a coin for a relatively low price, what can happen is that you may be stuck with the <i>wrong </i> coin and this is an expensive thing to have happen.&nbsp; You would be best served to identify honest and knowledgeable dealers and then pay a small bit extra, if needed, to get pre-screened coins that are <i>nice </i> and that have an easy return policy.&nbsp; This is a lesson that most price-buyers never learn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
