Message:: [QUOTE="srkjkd, post: 382491, member: 7248"]greetings!  always a smart idea to ask for advice before purchase. i have yet to make an ebay purchase and have only been to ebay 2 or 3x to browse.  i neither know the seller nor his practices.  when looking at the coin pic...i honestly could not tell if this pic has been "muled"..(pic obverse of one coin w/ pic reverse of different coin). i do believe that, especially w/ his mention of hairlines, as well as the overall appearance of this coin at an xf level.... that it has at least been cleaned. tho when , i cannot tell. pics are deceptive when reflecting luster or  "flatness" of  color. i also do note a long scratch close to the liberty pole and the overall appearance honestly seems too clean and uniform especially for both sides of the coin. were i in your position, i would perhaps pass for a better coin for a similar price range.  it is neither my money nor my decision and i do not know if the seller will allow a return of the coin after your purchase.  always try to err on the conservative side..i  do agree that w/o a  "details" assignment...i could go to xf40.....but that is ignoring any previous issues mentioned.   i honestly think you can do better if you take your time and search. only my very humble opinion and i hope you find  a nice seated you like for the price you feel is fair.   best wishes,   steve[/QUOTE]
