The buyer quoted me two options:
1. "I crack the coin out of the holder and send it back to you for a full $100 refund.(Which will most likely damage the coin in some way if he doesn't melt the welds and gently pry it open.)
2. "I'll be kind and take a $70 refund, eat the loss and keep this MS62 FB. I would choose wisely if I were you." (What does that statement even mean?)
I actually want the coin back now that I have researched it further looking for comparable graded examples from any year of the series.
And from what I have found, this coin is a high grade example of an ADC (Atypical Die Clash) which is rare for the series.
Although profoundly more prominent on the obverse, the reverse also shows obverse features from the die clash, which would make it a bilateral die clash as well.
There was a previous thread a while back on a slabbed 1934 Mercury dime that exhibited a near identical die clash as this one, but the provided link to the ebay listing in it was dead due to old age.(lol). Here is a link to the old thread:

Anybody remember which TPG slabbed it? (Prongs look NGC to me.) Or how much it sold for?
I just really don't want to take the coin back if he cracks it out of the slab and I'm not agreeing to the partial refund being that a 1920-P MS62 FB currently trends at $57!
I'm pretty sure that even after almost 6 months from POS and all the documentation I've sent in, PayPal will undoubtably side with the buyer...but I'm just not sure how hard of a hit I'm gonna have to take.
Will know by April 17th.
