This is exactly why some here strenuously press upon newbies to not buy until they truly know (as opposed to just thinking they know) what they're doing. Yeah, this one may have only been ten bucks - big deal, right - had you taken it, but the amount of money tossed away by newbies every year, usually trying for that almighty "deal", on blind buys is appalling, and is only made worse by the fact it could easily be avoided.

 

its not bad if you loose 10 bucks and remember the lesson but if you don't know and keep thinking you are getting a bargain when all you did was to be had by a seller that might or might not know what they are selling is worth there asking price this forum is a great way to learn from a lot of buyers sellers and collectors with a lot of experience some of the ins and outs happy collecting

 

If a seller doesn't know the value of whatever they're selling, and an agreed upon price with an equally ignorant buyer turns out to be too much, neither party was "had" by the other. Same goes if a truly ignorant buyer just happens to stumble upon a gem; it is only when one party is knowledgeable and uses said knowledge to take advantage of the unwitting does the label of being "had" rightfully apply.

 

Yep, coin in a bezel, and every time I see these they always have that turned up spot on one spot on the edge of the bezel.
