I'm going to stand by my opinion that MS-67 should be capitalized as "Mint State Sixty-Seven". :) Thanks for the contest!
I sometimes wonder if I'm accumulating a karmic burden by taking advantage of people who don't pay attention to what they're listing, or don't...
I guess this is a useful reminder that my judgement is poor. I would've jumped on the reverse for "improper cleaning" -- there's dark patina...

So, after a little more research, here's what I plan to do. I'm going to ignore this first email. If he sends another, I'll reply, explaining...
