[QUOTE="MontCollector, post: 3138195, member: 85496"]Lets take a look at this from the sellers side. You stated the seller described the coin(s) as UNC, not BU. There is a difference between these two descriptions and the seller knows this as I am sure you do to. You also stated you knew the seller was using a stock photo. So you knew the coin shown was not the coin you were going to receive. Now from looking at your photo it looks like the seller sent you exactly what he was describing.You said you weren't expecting a MS67 coin but you got a MS60-61 coin. This is still UNC. What grade were you expecting if I may ask? If you are buying an UNC coin online (especially eBay) sight unseen, then yes, it is. Low grade UNC coins can and DO have marks like this. The bigger the coin the bigger and more noticeable these marks are. It happens. These coins aren't handled with kid gloves when leaving the mint. It sounds like you have a couple of generous members willing to send you better looking coins and I would take em up on it. Very nice of [USER=15488]@sonlarson[/USER] and [USER=71723]@V. Kurt Bellman[/USER] to offer this. Way to go guys. Take this as a lesson. If you don't like the coin give it to a YN and maybe you will make someones day.[/QUOTE]
