Not sure if I'm ever going to see this coin. Seller hasn't sent an invoice or responded to my messages. I'll keep waiting, but there's nothing I can do in the meantime.

That's weird. There's usually a 'request an invoice' link somewhere on the auction or in the winning email, if I remember correctly. Not that that will definitely illicit a response, but it may give them a reminder.

I did that Monday morning, and no response. Followed up with a message yesterday morning, and another request last night.

Maybe he's a way for a few days. Who knows, maybe he'll feel bad for the lack of response and drop the shipping costs a little!

Shrug... maybe the seller is like me... they bought a new motorcycle and suddenly, ebay seems soooo far away....

Invoice received, only $25 for shipping... minor win!

SPP - I did something similar once. And now I no longer have 100% positives lol

Meh - so what... your virtual feedback rating is not pristine....

People know me at coin shows and know my reputation as a seller with face-to-face transactions... I put very little faith in virtual feedback as to the credibility of a seller (experience and a history of previous good transactions count for more in my books), sometimes even if you bend over backwards, you still get negative feedback.

If I get negative feedback, I just say... "oh well".... and block the bidder from future purchases. Like any business, I do have the right to refuse service... I view it as their loss in the end, because most people like my opinion and grades of raw coins and they like the coins they buy from me...

I almost feel sorry for those who go crazy in pursuit of 100% feedback rating, as if it really mattered...

It's pretty. I like the toning. I would say MS 62 or 63. Is the mentioned planchet flaw the small mark that looks like a scratch?

That is the only thing I can see on it. I'll take a closer look when I remove the coin from the holder, but I don't think ICCS would designate it as a planchet flaw because of it. He fields on the coin are similar to a 62 or 63, but it does have nicer eye appeal than any other 62 I own, so I'm gonna guess it'll come back 63. I think my dealer is submitting coins next during torex, so about 6 weeks after that, I'll update with the grade

Got this coin back yesterday. Don't have a picture of it at the moment, but ICCS called it MS64, woohoo!
