Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 02/09/2023 9:38 pm I was extremely delighted to have found what I thought was a pretty stellar Cent. It was a 1917 P LWC DDO-001 FS-101. The coin arrived and when I took it out of its holder to compare it to another I had purchased my thumb went across the bust as it started to slip as I was holding it by the edge. When I put the Cent down I realized it had been artificially antiqued. Some of the compound used came off on my thumb. Moral of the story, be extremely careful when buying a coin online. Even though the seller is more than happy to take the cent back and apologized more than once. Be careful of the online thing. If I don't know the person personally, or someone that I know who is helping on a cherry pick or not from a reputable auction house, I won't buy. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 02/09/2023 11:28 pm Oh man! it would be just fine as a delails-cleaned coin in pretty good grade until someone tried to turn it into a scam. Not saying that was your seller, maybe he was duped as well, but just no need to do any of that. Lots of folks would be happy to own such a coin even in details grade, just not pay top dollar for it billed as original. But honestly I'm getting kinda of tired of the endless stream of treated coins being sold these days. Today just got in an unlisted rim Cud on a Buffalo nickel and while pictures look great just one touch of the coin and you can feel it's been dipped. I go through ebay listings and just see coin after coin mis-advertised with everyone selling a doubled die that isn't, a cleaned coin not labeled as such, or so many other things. The world is ripe for a new coin auction house with moderators. Report this Post to the Staff
