[QUOTE="flintcreek6412, post: 1840142, member: 61025"]I agree with the above. I just got back into collecting after many years off. 35 years ago you didn't buy coins on the internet. I've kind of decided for myself that anything I buy off the internet will have a $75 limit on raws due to this exact thing. Too much fraud and deception potential. Like I tell my children, you can have your house, car and even wife taken from you, but only you can let your word and integrity be taken. If your word is only worth $150 I feel bad for you. With that said, either sell as is or roll dice on a re-grade which will cost you even more "tuition" on this education. Let's just assume it was graded low. So you pay money to get back what you paid originally? You've still lost money. But one thing is for certain, if you crack it open and sell raw without full disclosure you've placed yourself out there for harsh scrutiny. IMO this coin is very identifiable based upon the toning/corrosion patterns. You've already posted the pics in a public forum so anyone can find it. I'd list it as is under "buy it now" with a "best offer" allowed. See what happens. Take your loss and move on.[/QUOTE]
