[QUOTE="Pilkenton, post: 857998, member: 23961"]I never said the seller was the local coin store dealer. His actions reminded me of the dealer. The fact that he wrapped my coin in a grey sheet only strengthens my suspicion that the seller might be the shop owner. His ebay name provides no clue to his original name, neither does mine.
