<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 805028, member: 3726&quot;]I agree with I am just not happy leaving and leaving a negative. BUT in the case of obvious deceipt it could warrant a negative. With the graded coins and the number of coins this seller has listed he should have clearly stated the coin was damaged,cleaned and wire brushed. Even small sellers should learn what they are selling clearly state the condition of the coin.&nbsp; This stuff of &quot;judge the coin yourself&quot; should not give them a free pass. BUT in this case(based off the photos) I would return the coin, get my refund and leave a neutral stating the pictures did not show ALL OF the damage to the coin.&nbsp; Then I would watch to see if they reposted it and noted the cleaning and condition of the coin.&nbsp; If the new auction did not include information about the damage in the next auction I would report it to ebay. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you are going to buy raw copper off ebay - you will not be able to avoid problem coins. Granted you can see the majority of the problems in the pictures - except for the additional whizzing from top to bottom. My recommendation is to find a good copper dealer (there are plenty) that carries reasonable priced coins. Compare coins and photo&#039;s - most especially prices. I know how everybody likes to save money, but I could point you to a coin 10x&#039;s nicer than that one for $60(plus shipping). I do not deny there are some good deals on ebay, but more times than not they are over priced.&nbsp; I routinely skim all of the large cent auctions and 9 times out of 10 they are over priced problem coins or have bad pictures. I am not knocking others buying these coins, it is not like I do not have a few problem coins myself - but if you do your home work you can get more solid coins from a dealer for a few bucks more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my humble opinion![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
