There you have it. Send a quick courtesy note to the original buyer letting him know your findings.
When bringing in coins from the cold, allow the package containing them (bubble mailer, 2x2, air-tite, flip, tube, box, etc.) to reach room...

Rims look square, and other than the hack on the neck, there doesn't appear to be any chattery marks in the usual places. If I'm wrong, I can...

Both nice coins! Great RPD on the first, but I think the second is strike doubling. The secondary date image looks smashed. Also, you see the...
Red flag here. Not knowing who this mail order dealer is, if they are willing to do a 6-12 month layaway on a $60-$200 purchase, they may be...
I have only dabbled with GIMP. I found this tutorial on blending two images with different exposures. It shows opacity as a slider above the list...
