<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 1450260, member: 15518"]I think a lot depends on the seller's knowledge of coins... in this case, was the seller a novice or was he "pro"? To the untrained eye, all of the coins might look "uncirculated". Once in awhile you'll find auctions where the seller doesn't specialize in coins, but merely lists them along with other unrelated items he picked up at a garage sale or flea market. In that case, good photos are a must (which this particular auction was lacking). I'm leaning towards the seller having little or no knowledge of coins. But you know Merc, you did say "gamble" in your thread title, and when you gamble, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Still, you have the right to return an item if it qualifies as SNAD, and in this case it appears that it does. Anyway, now that you've seen the coins, what do you think a good price would have been (for someone like me who is not as grade conscious)?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
