<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steve E, post: 38124, member: 2147&quot;]You Know Prethen, to this day I still couldn&#039;t say how it was altered.&nbsp; We looked it over, and over, and still it looked ok, but we were both pretty inexperienced at that time.&nbsp; I wish I had it today to look it over again!&nbsp; The graders at PCGS sure saw something they didn&#039;t like.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if at that time we could have contacted them and found out, should have tried or should have sent it to NGC also.&nbsp; Well, that&#039;s a long time ago and and hopefully the last time.&nbsp; As far as the dealer, I&#039;ll just say he lives in Indianapolis now. Today that coin in Fine lists for around $1,400 VF jumps up to $2,500.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Now I climb onto the soapbox and throw my fists into the air, and shout)&nbsp; That was a big &quot;Ouch&quot;, but time heals and I am so glad this experience didn&#039;t change the way I felt about coin collecting.&nbsp; I achieve greater satisfaction and enjoyment from this hobby, meet the greatest people from around the world, and have learned more than I ever expected when I started!&nbsp; Any coin is just a material object, the memories will stay with me forever.&nbsp; I think we all will experience &quot;ouches&quot; along the way, just carry lots of bactine!&nbsp; (the gravedigger has spoken)</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
