[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 573501, member: 13650"]Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate everyone's input. I realize I take a large part of the blame and should have ran the other way. To add to this, the seller does have 100% positive feedback and many thousands of them. He did not disclose in the auction or to me that the slab was damaged. There was full pictures of the slab but you couldn't tell there was anything wrong with it until after I received it and compared. It definitely wasn't tampered with by the post office. It came in one of those sticky cardboard holders in a bubble mailer. Impossible for this kind of damage to happen in transit. The coin is definitely one of a kind. No question it is what was in the auction. But I believe the pictures were photoshopped to make it much lighter on the obverse and even more lighter on the reverse, compared to what it actually is. If I can't return it, it's not a big deal on this one. I kind of don't want to anyway. I will probably send it in for a new holder. It was just an odd situation that could have been worse I guess. As far as edge damage, someone has chipped it on the bottom from where the left corner ends, across the whole bottom, around the right bottom corner and all the way up the right side to where the top right corner ends. No other damage. I don't think this could happen by dropping it. The serial number does register on NGC as what it says it is. An 1887 MS-63 star. No picture. Sent the seller an e-mail.
