[QUOTE="davidh, post: 410781, member: 15062"]Since I am in no way knowledgeable about half-cents I'm unable to make an informed judgement on this coin's authenticity. However, your posting brings up a few questions. What is there in the listing that you consider to be deceitful? It is listed only as a "rare variety". What is it about the coin that makes you sure it's a C-9 rather than a C-2? It's easy to say what (you think) is isn't; you conveniently leave out your credentials to judge what it really is. If your judgement is based on the placement and size of the cud, isn't it possible that dies other than the C-2 might have a similar cud? Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean it doesn't exist, on a C-9, for instance. Is your complaint that the coin has been mis-listed? Or that a C- number hasn't been applied to it? Or that it's counterfeit? You haven't posted exactly what you said to the seller, but if your tone to him was accusative, then you probably got the response you deserved. Your ire about the seller not responding to you is misplaced; you should have reported your concerns, with citations and your credentials, to ebay for their action. As I post this, there are 7 hours left in the auction so it's probably too late to take that route, however you might do that anyway in the event that the buyer pays through PayPal. Ebay/PayPal might be able to head off the payment. I am not a buyer or seller of half cents. I don't know you or the seller of this coin. I simply think you've gone about this in the wrong way.[/QUOTE]
