Not a big premium to most collectors, there are some that look for minor varieties (which this is) a cool find or collection would be a bunch of similar coins showing the pre die break on through the die break extending on through the date, now that would be something to see!
By itself I'd say it may command a dollar or two over the FMV on an 1898 in this condition at the most, so nobody is getting rich off a find like this.

The seller did misrepresent the coin so you might have a case with ebay, you didn't over pay by that much considering the condition. You should contact the seller and see if he'll refund you five dollars or something. I think 99% of rolls are sold by scammers, just stay away from them. |

I ended up asking the seller for a partial refund, he said he wouldn't do that, but would refund me if I returned the roll, unopened. I told him it had already been opened, and he was being a jerk about it. So I'm just going to give him negative feedback and keep the coins. I'm not upset about the coins I got, but I did need the 1886

If he won't refund, hammer him with a neg. He's definitely scamming and he knew it was 1896. The negative feedback helps alert other buyers.

That's the plan, but he's a "power seller" 200+ feedback, so I have to wait 7 days before I can leave negative feedback

I had something happen to me recently just like this. I was sold a 1871 indian head, got it in the mail - it's a 1874. I wanted to keep it because it was in really nice condition, so I told the seller I'd keep it for a partal refund and he agreed to do so. Since your guy (or girl) is not so nice...I agree with others saying give him a negative feedback.

The good part about it is that I had ordered two things from him at the same time so I get to leave negative feedback twice

1962penny: look at the negative feedback folks have who sell 'un-searched' rolls. It make for good reading. There is such a barrier to give neg feedback, that few do. I think some people feel they just got unlucky. One guy even had a story that his wife made the rolls, so therefore he did not know what was in them. Like his wife is packing in all, the valuable coins to leave them in poverty. I can see selling or buying 'a roll of xxxxx' if if all parties know what is being sold, such a common Liberty nickels in Good condition. |

I'm currently out of town, but when I get back I'll let you all know what else was in the roll. Also, a lot of people don't care to go through the rolls, and just sell them as is. I've gotten a lot of rolls off ebay and I've found quite a few errors, no real key dates though. |

Sounds like an "item not as described" case if you ask me. You ordered an 1886 that would be a type II and not a an 1896. It would most likely be easier if you got a partial refund for the difference in value. If he won't let you return them, file a case. You can tell what the coin was in the pictures, but it was mentioned more than once in the listing that the coin was an 1886.
