ValuedChange's Feedback Ratings History

I just received the 1898 S Quarter that was represented as Fine in quality. I have examined the coin under my LCD Ditigtal Microscope (2mega Pixel magnification) and find the obverse of the coin is at best a G4. The reverse is better but a coin's value is usually established by the obverse side. The Greysheet site establishes a retail value of a G4 at around $19. It also states the retail value of a F12 at around $54. I used the American Numismati Association Grading Standards Sixth Edition as my grading criteria. Looking at the obverse, the letters of "Liberty" were not present. An F12 would have all letters visible but weak. It is clear I over paid by $25 for this coin. It is my error in judgement. I will not probably make it again but not with this seller.
