    Okay, and...... what? Chances are that she is talking about shipping and not additional purchases. Just another poorly written ebay description IMO.

    I'm actually looking for a decent Flying Eagle cent...didn't see this one....anyway...

    I get scared easily and just based on this description I wouldn't buy/bid because it's in all caps with poor spelling and grammar. That's also the first time I've seen a flying eagle toned like that - but I haven't been looking at flying eagles that long.

    I'm pretty sure it's AT. Looks like it was heated and cooled to produce that toning.

    I've been selling on eBay since 1998, and never heard that before... as a "top rated" seller, I get 20% off final value fee. Not sure what "rebate" this seller is referring too.

    Seller has an IHC which, to my eyes, looked to be similar toning.

    I'm to inexperienced and if a seller can't communicate decently in an item or shipping description I'll look for another seller.

    I would not advise anyone to buy a copper or copper-nickel coin of that age with that wear and that color.

    You were talking about the coin itself? My bad, but since it is on ebay, I thought nothing to be odd about it. Raw dreck is commonplace.
