I've opened a return, you're all correct, it's like I received a totally different coin. I hate opening return cases but it's got to be done.

You've made the right decision. Get your money back and move on. Do not leave negative feedback.

It is the same coin in seller's pics. but he/she managed to hide the numerous contact marks by playing with lighting to conceal them. Return is in order.

MS-61. The seller did a good job hiding all the bag marks in his photos. Always a crap shoot buying coins from photos.
I would return it to the seller if you can.

Reverse is MS-64, obverse is MS-61. I'll net it out to an MS-62. Seller photos were deceptive.

Deceptive photography. Four oblique lights, that I can see, were placed to wash over the damage. Don't hate opening a return, hate an unscrupulous seller.

Sounds like you paid about $50 USD for it which is high for a raw, low MS 1881-S Morgan. It's a coin I would return if possible. If you do get stuck with it's not a total loss because it's worth $30 USD.

Ask to send it back and if they say no file a claim with ebay but hopefully they will just accept it back

I've opened a case and we shall see if it is accepted, it's only fair to do so. I don't think I've left negative feedback in my life so I'd only do that if it was absolutely deserved.

I agree with the upthread comments. I definitely don't like the seller's photos. Regardless of description, the lighting on the photos concealed the contact marks.

Seller said circulated condition with very slight bag marks. In my opinion they are not very slight. Anyway they've accepted the return, happy days.
