<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BigTee44, post: 1719957, member: 41883&quot;]Alright, so I bid on a 1941 Mercury Dime that claims the coin is either a proof or proof like coin. I get the coin. It&#039;s polished.</p><p><br /></p><p>I contact the seller stating the coin is not a proof or proof like and tell him it&#039;s been polished. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is his response...</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial">Did&nbsp; you read the auction? In the title it even states a bunch of question&nbsp; marks after the word proof - in the description it states I dont know if&nbsp; its a proof or not to check the pics etc...No where in the auction did I&nbsp; state the coin was indeed a proof so I am not sure what your expecting&nbsp; me to do - </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial">Now I&#039;ve only left 1 negative feedback in my entire eBay history, and I didn&#039;t pay much for this coin but given that response from the seller, I&#039;m starting to wondering if maybe I should. </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial">Here is my response to his email...</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"></font></span><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial">From the actual listing....</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial">Up&nbsp; for your consideration is a 1941 Mercury Dime Proof or Proof-like Coin.&nbsp; These proofs if this indeed one (Will let you be the judge as I can&nbsp; never tell the difference between proof and proof-like) are rare and&nbsp; would add to any collection.</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial">I don&#039;t see how you can say you&nbsp; never said it was a proof in the title or the description. In the first&nbsp; two lines of the description it says proof 3 times. Even if it is not a&nbsp; proof, you state it is proof LIKE, it doesn&#039;t say anything about the&nbsp; coin being polished. If you can&#039;t tell the difference between a proof&nbsp; and a polished coin you shouldn&#039;t be selling coins.</font></span><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think...??[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
