<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bone Head, post: 986779, member: 14057&quot;]No, I don&quot;t disagree with the grade. I did keep the coin. In addition, the eBay photo was taken to promote&nbsp; the good points of the coin, and my photos were taken to emphasize the flaws. I think&nbsp; The reality of it all lies somewhere in between.The vertical lines across Ike&#039;s cheek are what the old school would call cabinet friction. Under really close microscopic examination these (scratches?)&nbsp; do not penetrate the surface of the coin, but they mar the patina.&nbsp; As to whether or not it was misrepresented, I think the seller should have mentioned this in the description. And the few white spots&nbsp; appear to me to be places where the coin was (conserved?)&nbsp; Any one that has played around with MS-70 coin brightener will recognise the damage to the surface when spots or pvc have been properly removed,.I will add that I purchased 4 coins from this seller and I returned three. I consider the cost of returning unsatisfactory items a legitimate and not unexpected expense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
