<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pilkenton, post: 1043752, member: 23961&quot;]Well I did it.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years ago I bought a 1927p dime from one of these guys.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a dime collector, but I wanted a nice Mercury.&nbsp; The cardboard had MS written on it.&nbsp; I put it in my box and never looked at it again.&nbsp; This morning I took it out of the holder and put it in a flip and took it back to where i bought it.&nbsp; I asked him to grade it for me, and it wasn&#039;t for sale.&nbsp; He spent about a half a second looking at it, and graded it &quot;very fine---ebay AU&quot;.&nbsp; I asked him to explain to me the grade.&nbsp; He explained about the wear and a scratch on the obverse.&nbsp; He never offered me his loupe so I could see for myself.&nbsp; I told the guy I bought it from ebay, and it was listed as uncirculated.&nbsp; He went into a rant about buying from ebay.&nbsp; He also told me that he would give me melt for it if I wanted to sell it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m PO&#039;ed.&nbsp; I paid around forty bucks from the same guy that offered me melt.&nbsp; I looked at it when I got home.&nbsp; It looks like a nice coin to me.&nbsp; I saw no scratch on the coin.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think I got ripped off.&nbsp; I honestly think it&#039;s an MS dime.&nbsp; You would think that me being a twenty year customer would amount to something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
