Packaging A Coin . . . How Not To Do It

That is interesting that the die crack is not visible on the seller's photo.

I does get me thinking that he used that photo and sent me a different coin.

I sent him the photo to show him the hairlines. He has agreed to take it back and refund my shipping costs both ways.

This is too bad. This was the first Peace dollar I have purchased in years and it was going to end up in my collection. Oh well, there are plenty more of them out there.

To Cherry Picking. Not in this case. It just looked like a nice coin with low bids. I won it for $20.

I'll be back on the search for another.

I just finished paying off our pledge to our church's building program. This is where most of my coin money has been going the last three years.

Now, with a bit of extra money in hand, I thought I'd start adding a BU silver dollar to my collection each month. This was to have been the first one.
