Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 01/27/2024 09:41 am I think yes, in general however there is much debate over dipping. Thus it was important that I find out what the case was for this coin in that regard and second be aware of things people do in the future when I purchase. Fortunately for me in majority of cases I know I'm not qualified to grade, determine cleaning methods and counterfeits... so it is rare I ever buy over bullion value or in this cas AG value. So this isn't about me concerned if I got ripped off but becoming better at figuring these things out for myself. Report this Post to the Staff

Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 01/27/2024 11:47 am Well that's fine but I think that two people gave me detailed explanations that helped me. Which I thought was the point of the forum. However, these answers did not come until much later and I believe have justified my position of asking deeper questions. I think some, not all, have used language that implies otherwise. I have been professional, specific and there have been optics of a mob mentality to which I'm not sure why. This forum overall has been incredibly kind and generous to me and I know I do not bring much back to the table aside from sharing some fun finds. I just like to be 'written' the way I have communicated back. I digress. My questions have been answered. Thank all for the help. At least I'm better at this after my post than before it and I guess that's what is important. Report this Post to the Staff
