[QUOTE="skinnyeddie, post: 215560, member: 6638"]Well, this has been a bad week for me! Two ebay rip-offs in one week. Earlier this week, I had the George Washington commemorative half that had permanent fingerprints all over it inside the plastic casing. Today I get my sacagawea I'd ordered for my type set. I guess I should have known it was too good to be true, but they had a 2003 S Sac pictured that I bid on and won. The ad said (in the fine print) buyer might receive a different date than shown (I didn't see that until after I got my coin!). The coin arrived today. It was a very average condition, actually somewhat scuffed up 2000 D Sac! Big f-in deal! I could have grabbed one of those out of a post office vending machine! :headbang: To add insult to injury, the seller included a "bonus coin." A 2006 Jefferson nickel. So what?!?! Again, thanks for selling me pocket change for a premium! I have contacted this seller about a return. This is the first time I've actually tried a return on e-bay so we'll see how this all shakes out I guess. I think it is very deceptive to use a proof photo, then send out coins from rolls.
