<p>[QUOTE="Daniel Jones, post: 2199076, member: 75132"]I can't believe all you guys here! Ha, ha! Either you are lying, very prudent, or I am way too gullible. Trying to narrow it down to my biggest mistake is impossible! Ha, ha! I will just say my biggest recent mistake was 5 years ago when I paid $1,089 for an 1877 VG10 Indian cent I bought from L & C coins over the phone. The grade was accurate, however they did not tell me it had problems i.e. 2 light scrapes on the obverse, and I don't like to bother mailing back my purchases, so I blame myself for this bad business transaction as much as I blame them for selling coins unscrupulously. What did I do with this coin? Well, after failing to get a local buyer for it, I.......dare I say? Ha, ha. Gee, I sure hope Peter Davis does not get mad at me here ha, ha. Ok. I gave it to....lets just say I am an amateur photographer, if you know what I mean. Ha, ha! By the way, she later told me she sold it at a pawn shop for $200. I finally wised up. No more coin purchases like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
