This is one of my pet peeves. Why,even if it was acknowledged, was this coin sold to another person ? I have been the proud receiver of two Whizzed coins from Ebay and they for Darn Sure will never see the market again. This Trash needs to leave our Hobby even if it does mean a loss of a few bucks to yourself.
If you want to learn what to look for, attend a Bullet auction preview, cover the grade and try and guess the problem. I do this at every show and am getting a bit better at detecting problems. This last show had a very large number of problem coins and it was a real education.

I garnered a whole lot more respect for those who are able to detect problem coins, especially the graders after having attended the FUN show. I didn't see the problems on that 74 IHC until it was pointed out to me by an exgrader. We may not appreciate some of the grades they give our coins, but it is comforting to know how sharp they can be in detecting problems on coins. I don't think I am the only one who would have missed the problem on this coin. BTW it was in a body bag slab when I bought it.
