<p>[QUOTE="D-Train, post: 2744734, member: 86758"]Sorry if I've exasperated you. But you need to look at this from my perspective. I'm a total noob, I come here and post a picture of a GSC coin that sparks a HUGE (excuse the expression) pissing match between 2 apparently esteemed, experienced numismatists. One says he's made 8-10 purchases from the seller in question and has had the same experience that I've had, that they will send you the coin shown in the photos on eBay. So from my POV, Kurt is right, so yes I took his side. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I don't know squat about Lehigh, and he may very well be right. He may have purchased a coin or more from GSC in the past and been burned. He didn't come right out and state this though I may have missed it if he did. </p><p><br /></p><p>So now, if you were me, who would you be more inclined to side with? It may be that BOTH of them are correct, maybe Kurt & I have been lucky and got coins that we're totally happy with. Maybe Paul had the opposite experience with this seller, maybe he's just regurgitating what others that have had bad experiences with GSC have stated, I have no way of knowing. I can only go by my personal experience (extremely limited though it may be) and proceed with caution in the future when considering a purchase from GSC. </p><p>YRMV. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
