This seller is listing several auctions on eBay right now for groups of coins where you can't tell the date on the picture and he doesn't bother to give you the date in the listing. Doesn't he think that maybe when someone is buying a coin they want to know what it is? Honestly, it would take 30 seconds to write it out and he'd get a lot more bids. http://cgi.ebay.com/6-BRITAIN-PENNY...484?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a5b22584
Two choices: 1. Ignore it and go to the next lot, or 2. As tlasch said, ask the seller. BTW if the seller doesn't bother to answer see choice #1.
By the length of the product description, I'd blame laziness. It will end up hurting the seller in the end.
I asked him and he responded that he already put them away so he couldn't answer but "they were all common dates." Maybe so, but if it's a common date that I need, I'd bid on it.
He said he already put them away? I would not work with a seller like that, he might end up shipping it to the WRONG ADDRESS.
