The walker sent is a nearly dateless 1920. So worn I can only make out the 20 under certain lighting/magnificaion and the area where a mintmark would be on the reverse is completely worn away.

Nice work. Maybe she'll think twice before trying that again.
Rest in Peace

I am not convinced this was a case of the seller not knowing the difference. They won an auction on April 1 that consisted of four dateless SLQ's and one dateless Walker. All coins were individually pictured and none of the SLQ's were type 1. Why dig up a picture of a 1916 instead of using a picture from the auction you just won
?

Just doesn't sit right with me..

I am just really glad you guys take the time to link these sellers and inform all of us newer to the hobby. I am not saying I will never make a bad purchase on ebay but this certainly helps me know which sellers I may need to look a bit closer at and what types of things to be looking for. Certainly learning a LOT here.

Thank you!

dave700x - interesting, I hadn't looked at the sellers purchases. I have added this seller to my never again list anyway......

Once I brought up the point about the photo being 'borrowed' she agreed pretty quickly to work it out.

Yep - this is the dateless Walker. I should have looked into her purchases before.

I think it was intentional as well. What are the odds she got a random SLQ picture and it was a 1916. She obviously knows it has a huge premium and wanted to sucker people into it.

Nice to hear you were able to work things out. Had it been myself in your situation I'm not so sure I'd have been as nice as you were to the seller.
