[QUOTE="tommybee, post: 1011231, member: 24999"]I agree with the posters that say if the seller has posted fuzzy pictures, doesn't have a 7 day return policy and/or has a bad rating, then you should RUN away from them. I have purchased a dozen, or so, coins off eBay. Four of them were UNC raw common date peace dollars. Once I gained a little more experience, I noticed that 2 of them had wear and one of those had been mechanically cleaned. Lesson learned on a 25 dollar coin is better than a lesson learned on a 500 dollar coin, I guess. I kept them and studied them so I can more easily spot those two problems. I have bought slabbed stuff, too. However, I have found that the coin is usually weak for the grade. Mostly strike issues. I've sent some back without problem. I'm pretty picky when I buy coins and I feel bad sending back coins to sellers because I know they still have to pay the fee. So, I only buy a few a year on eBay. Now the the leaves are falling there are plenty of shows to go to, so I'm not on eBay as often, anyway.[/QUOTE]
