<p>[QUOTE="bkprewitt, post: 1502789, member: 33172"]Well, I contacted the seller, reasonably requesting that the seller refund the final bid price plus shipping plus any costs I incur in returning the item.

So, I escalated it, and I will most definitely be leaving negative feedback.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lesson learned, I guess. I suppose I should have noticed the red flags and not bid. That's what I get for assuming that a seller would have better sense to include pictures of some near-mint state coins but then sells well-worn coins that are G-4 on a good day. Even if one isn't familiar with coins, wouldn't one have more common sense than that? It would be like selling a used book on eBay, showing a picture of a new one, and delivering one with a few pages ripped out and coffee stains on the rest, and then acting shocked when the buyer complained.
