[QUOTE="TRVST, post: 29594, member: 1939"]Thanks for the welcome. I've been lurking for a while but this one really had me scratching my head. I totally agree with your comments concerning trusting your seller. However, he does have a pretty good feedback rating and does offer a return policy. Overall it would still be a crap shoot. Such is the same for any unslabbed coin sold on the internet... all you have left is your confidence and belief in the seller. The kicker for me, in the scans, was the lack of detail in the lower obverse feathers. Excepting a heavily worn coin, this is evident of either a weak strike or a poor image- both appear to be the case. I like the thrill of taking a chance on ebay. I've made some modest finds on some very modest coins exploiting poor descriptions and pictures. I'm guessing the buyer will be happy at the price they paid, at worst it appears to an AU piece.
