[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2451004, member: 77413"]I bought a 1924 Lincoln cent via eBay from a dealer I generally regard as OK. Today I was practicing with that coin to improve my photographic ability. It occurred to me that my photos don't look anything like the eBay originals. The originals have a unique spot pattern on the reverse, like this.[ATTACH=full]511990[/ATTACH] The coin I have has unique marks which I believe are Planchet marks. It has none of the spots. [ATTACH=full]511991[/ATTACH] So I went back to eBay and I can see this coin for sale now, with the same marks as the one I was supposed to receive. New pictures, but the same unique pattern. [ATTACH=full]511992[/ATTACH] This transaction occurred in late April. The coin is now $95, I paid $38 for it, or at least I thought I did. (Usually I match any marks from the photos to the actual coin to be sure it is the same one - I don't know why I did not catch this one.) "Blazing luster, stunning color and all original surfaces. Hardly a bag mark or nick to be seen. A great Lincoln graded MS by us. Please view photos carefully such that what is pictured is what you will receive." I am not entirely unhappy with the coin I have, but what would you do in a case like this?[/QUOTE]
