You're lucky he is cancelling the deal. You would have eventually regretted buying a damaged coin if by some miracle it is original. I've never heard of a D over S variety for this coin; has anyone here? A lot of red flags.

I wouldn't have spent $1.14 on it, much less $114, based on seller's feedback and pictures alone, and that's without doing any research at all.

I think the divots are from when the soldering iron slipped.

A 1914 D/S cent doesn't exist.

Not to change the topic, but why would anyone bid on a coin with such horrible pictures of it in the first place -especially a key date coin such as a 1914-D?

Key Date on ebay with bad photos is a huge red flag for me. Also, with that damage how can he claim it AU+? Doesn't that negate the high grading? I don't think I would have paid anyways but I would have been upset had it been the real deal, and I agree that you should follow up with ebay, and give him a strike if possible. |

If the seller was peddling a fake he would jump at your $114 bid vs his 2 cent investment.
Since he renigged definitely leave negative feedback.
When paying for a questionable transaction specially when you think you have the upper hand pay through Paypal with a credit card. That way you have 2 courses of action to dispute the transaction.

Definitely not a 1914 D or !914 S. The pictures look like a 1914 S but the mintmark is in the wrong position in my opinion.
Not an AU+, post mint damage from what I can see. I agree Seller has horrible pictures.
I would agree that your lucky he canceled the sale, but negative feedback is in order since this isn't his first time doing this.
By the way, it was relisted and sold for $295.00...

And another listing for the same thing. Wow, what are the odds of two AU coins having the exact same damage marks? They both must be rare. I wish I bought them both.  |

I've asked the seller for clearer pictures of the item, and told him it looks like a VG coin.  CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

I would only buy slabbed 14ds. I picked up a vf35 for about 350 dol.

I see people putting up pics of the obverse only on ebay more frequently than I would expect if people want to sell a coin with a specific grade. Ten foot pole is my motto in these situations. Will I lose out on a good buy? Potentially. But I also do not risk finding myself in a situation where I have to argue over returns or take a hit. |
