It has to be stated within the listing itself, which means before the pictures and not at the bottom of the page.</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>If you don&#039;t want negative feedback or to be forced to give a refund, I would amend the listing and properly clarify it is a Half Cent, since many have questioned it and several have stipulated such and since your vision is poor and can&#039;t see the plain-as-day HALF CENT written on the reverse, you should listen to those of us that know these better than you.</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>George <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That was short and to the point and can&#039;t be misunderstood by the seller! :hammer: And by the current bid, it&#039;s clear there are numismatic idiots bidding on coins on Ebay so numismatic idiots selling coins on Ebay, have a large audience that will buy their trumped-up wares. :goofer:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: It could be claimed that the coin is worth the current bid but considering it&#039;s practically impossible to tell if it is a Plain 4 or Crosslet 4, little-lone decipher the reverse, how can the variety be ascertained to determine proper value? :goof:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pps: After further scrutiny, I&#039;ve narrowed the variety down to two possibilities - C-9 (Common) or C-10 (Very Common). It has stems and they point to the center of the last A in AMERICA and the top of the 4 in the date doesn&#039;t appear to touch the bottom of the bust. So its book value is somewhere between $20 to $40. I believe this one fully proves there are numismatic idiots buying coins on Ebay!&nbsp; :goof:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
