<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1288125, member: 15019&quot;]People do have a bad habit of bidding on the slab rather than the coin. It&#039;s especially difficult when the plastic covering the obv/rev of the coin has been &quot;conveniently&quot; marred, and then when you crack it you find a problem.</p><p>Had this happen with a 1779 Russian gold 2 rouble coin. Looked just fine through the plastic, which had a whizzed look only over the coin viewing parts. When I cracked it (with the help of members in a recent thread) the adjustment marks left on the high points of the design became evident.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
