I assume these slabs can be opened and resealed fairly easy and that if the buyer chose could reassemble it and return it without the seller knowing any different.</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on my assumption above, I would return this coin despite what the seller said. Here is why...the coin was misrepresented. Per eBay requirements, these slabs cannot really be sold as "slabbed" coins...so one should consider them raw. If the issue was over the grade, I would say you should have known better. However, the coin was represented as a proof and it was determined not to be a proof. The only way to verify that was open the slab. If a buy a raw proof and I get a business strike...I should be able to confirm that and return the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Since the slab can be resealed and returned to the seller in the EXACT same condition that it was received in...then there should be no issue there. Again, if this was an issue of buyers remorse then I would feel differently. For example, had the coin been a proof when it was cracked out but still had those luster breaks...making a PF55 I would say you need to keep it. But, the coin was not a proof and therefore should be allowed to be returned...even if the seller didn't want it cracked out. Just my opinion though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
