Tough call. There are mitigating circumstances, among them the spot is clearly visible in his other pic. The guy has a case - of some sort - and if he chooses to appear we're going to hear him out.

ebay typically has a 14-day return policy.....after this period is up, I believe that the seller is not responsible for taking any returns...you mentioned that you won the auction approximately 2 weeks ago. Please be mindful of the seller's return policy....as you may be close to exceeding the designated time interval.

The seller responded, never apologizes, explains his picture process, not sure how it could happen, and he does not want to stick me with the coin, so I am free to return it to his PO Box, which I am going to do.
Given his 15000+ positive rating who can say.
I am assuming I should send this insured and signature required? Can't do that to a PO box though.

You can do that to a PO box, no problem.
He will receive a notice in his box that he has a package that requires a signature.
He will go to the front desk and sign and accept his package.
I send my tax work to the government with signature required and it's a PO box.
I have a PO box myself and have received packages that require signatures.
It's no big deal.

Many collectors have PO boxes for this specific purpose - receiving coins. I'm one of them. Nope, no coins left outside in the mailbox when I'm not home, thank you, and if I'm not home I have to go to the Post Office anyway.

Just an update, I returned the coin on Saturday, and got a PayPal refund today, out $7 for insurance, but learned a few lessons, so not bad.

I don't even see the spot in your photo :) JK of course, its took me 15 seconds to download edit and save this picture.... Just saying, what you see is not always what is really there....it has been altered, and I didn't even have to chop the 8's I am glad you got it sent back and refunded.  Edited by peaece13

Dang! The whole time the spot was just on the outside plastic! That is a nice edit.

Birdman - either we missed a message or you misunderstood the prior photo posted by peaece13. He was just showing how easy and effective it is to do a decent job of photo manipulation.

If the coin gets re-listed let me know I might bid on it. Now that I know it's been thoroughly veted.

Brian34Jersey, the only thing that's been vetted is the fact that it's easy to manipulate photos.
As you can see from peaece13's photo manipulation, it is very easy to do so without leaving a lot of evidence behind. This is something we all need to keep in mind while shopping for coins online - what you see is not necessarily what you will receive. Always take images with a grain of salt until you can get the coin in-hand and truly look at it.

Brian,
Looks like the coin sold already, for about $50 more than I had paid for it.
There is a new picture, but remarkably the spot is very washed out, not nearly as pronounced as the original picture from the Stacks Auction.
