Did I get ripped off?

Thanks Lehigh for the explanation. I was just chafing at people quickly condemning the toning from a photo. I have tried to photograph mint red coins before and know how hard it is to get the colors right, and also had some experience with coins being condemned on other sites based upon a photo. If you have problems with the underlying coin that is more understandable, with a caveat that the toning may be artificial until the buyer gets a chance to inspect in person.

 

I am waiting on receiving this coin, however, I'm not too sure what to look for when I receive it. If it looks like a cartoon when I get it I'll think twice about keeping it.

 

LOL - good new rule.

 

Since when did '09s have what looks like plating bubbles on the reverse? Also, maybe it's just the angle, but shouldn't that period between the D and B in the initials be more centered? This might be a toned $2 counterfeit.

 

wow. Very good observation. I noticed those 'bubbles' too. I took back the part about the VDB centering because it is supposed to be a tad bit off center to the left

 

I was reading an old thread yesterday where the OP was asking if his coin was considered a Woody and if he could get a premium for the coin. I do not know why he nor anyone in the thread neglected to mention that the coin would already command a premium because it was a 1909-S Wheat Cent in G-VG condition

 

Looks unreal to me, I would question it!

 

i guess Cinderella man never got the coin?

 

Well you see what we see and we don't have to be happy with it, you do. You must have wanted it enough to be on it. It's not like it cost you a thousand dollars.
Be happy you won it. Congrats.
