[QUOTE="zaneman, post: 201895, member: 3970"]Bump, Here is a sad lesson. I bought these two coins a man named jeff wherlin, aka jwcameo on ebay. I bought a goodly sum for them. This was when I had more or less a complete lack of numismatic knowledge. I didn't even truly understand cams and dcams then. Back when I bought this, I was a struggling college student. I paid 700 for the pair, thinking I got a great deal, as those coins looked uber cam. Excitedly, I paid for a PCGS membership, and walked through the coins. Neither even came back a 66, let alone even cameo. So then I tried anacs (it may have been in reverse order). Same deal. All said and done I lost nearly 1000 dollars on the two coins. It was although a lesson worth learning. Also, airedale, the only way I could produce a photo showing before and after would be to: A. buy expensive camera equipment or B. Buy a coin from jeff, show his picture, and the take one myself. Neither of which are worth my time or effort.[/QUOTE]
