Do I get thrown off the boards if I neg

DHRC? I won an auction for a Lincoln described as "Bright red and fabulous with great surfaces." The coin I received has two small black spots on the obverse and one on the reverse. Needless to say, I already sent them an email expressing my displeasure, and I requested a replacement.

Steve - I have found that the Lincoln series is a tough one just because of the carbon spots and fingerprints that naturally occur on the coin (as you found on this one). The problem, for me, is that copper naturally produces carbon spots and I have found that collectors are all over the map when it comes to carbon spots. Some will accept some others no spots at all and still others like a darken red while others like them bright red. I have found that the best way to approach the Lincoln collector, is to determine what their needs and expectations are before I send out a coin. Sometimes I send two or three so I can get a feel for what they are looking for.

Don't know if this helps with you coin, but my two cents.

You shouldn't have any problems with DHRC. Great return policy, just send the coin back for a refund or replacement.

On a similar note, sometime in the past, I ordered two MS67 Roosevelts from DHRC. I was not happy with them, as I didn't think they were worthy of that lofty grade. I've come to find out that my expectations for this small coin with low relief were, shall we say, may have been too high. I haven't been able to look at volumes of 67s to determine if my expectations were too high or those coins were overgraded. Needless to say, I'm still looking for two (1958, 1958D) that exhibit that "pinpoint" strike I'm after. I may be looking forever, too.
