[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1313267, member: 26729"]I wanted to bring this auction to everyone's attention and expose a scammer. The current seller bought this coin, knowing it was damaged goods. Here is the auction: [URL]http://www.ebay.com/itm/280771817614[/URL] Now he is selling the same coin, as undamaged UNC.. [URL]http://www.ebay.com/itm/1857-Flying-Eagle-Cent-BU-Brilliant-Uncirculated-Cartwheeling-Lustrous-Beauty-/110781343856[/URL] I played dumb and contacted the seller to ask if it had been cleaned... This is the response: (Remember, he KNOWS it has been cleaned.) "It looks very original, but I don't guarantee anything other than coins being Genuine. If you want a coin guaranteed to slab with no problems, then I highly suggest that you buy slabbed coins. Thank you for your interest. Mike" I reported the auction, but I don't know that he is breaking any rules... ???[/QUOTE]
