[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 7536907, member: 39084"]This is almost exactly what I was going to reply as well. Simple is better. In your position -- not wanting the coin -- I would simply email the auction house and include all three pictures: their own picture of the original listing, the NGC slab with the "smoothing" comment, and finally your picture of the coin's reverse that clearly illustrates the abrasions and scrapes that are NOT visible in their picture.

Your email should state that the coin's condition wasn't fully represented by either the auction picture or written description. You should further state that their picture and description of the coin omits this information that is material to your decision, and if known to you, you would not have bid on the coin.
