<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1181912, member: 24633"]Not really, but it would have been smarter to ask it before you pulled the trigger. Sure, if you're not happy with it, you can always return it, but you're still out the money for shipping, and you're assuming that the seller won't give you a hard tme about it. Did you bother checking the negs on his feedback? The biggest problem is that the seller doesn't even provide a reverse photo, and this is where the "E" clash is located. Is this a case where you "bought the slab and not the coin"? One of the obverse markers is supposed to be the dash under the second "8", and even with the enlargement, I can't see it. Did you ask the seller for a reverse photo and enlargements of the critical areas? Did you check the VAM-2A listing on VAMWorld? In it, Leroy states that it is a weak clashed "E". Since clashes have a tendency to fade as the dies continue striking coins, it may be that this is a late die state. I've seen some "E" clashes that were so faint, you'd need a microscope to view them.</p><p> </p><p>These are all things you should have considered to make your eBay buying experience more satisfying.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
