I know the seller...  How could you know the seller? Did you recognize the coin? Or did you check me out on ebay? |

Reverse looks partially cleaned in this image (beyond a doubt in my opinion). Details coin.

There's a certain seller who sells coins of a certain type using the same photo background for every one of them (I've bought quite a few nice coins and never been disappointed)
If by chance it's not the same seller then it's just a random coincidence!

Looking at this again, that reverse may hold it to a details grade. Changing mine to XF Details, Cleaned.  |

PCGS Genuine Cleaned - VF Detail. "Cleaned" probably is referring to the reverse. I think it looks better than just VF. I don't have any larger pics to share at the moment. |

So I got the coin in hand and it does not look quite like the seller photographs. My impression is the seller used Photoshop to increase the contrast of the photo.
Upon inspection I think both surfaces look cleaned.

Only if I shine light straight on top of the coin (perpendicular to the field of the coin) there is contrast. If I shine light under a shallow angle it looks cleaned and fuzzy.
Now seller is blaming me because "I got the slab I bought".

The seller is djf-coins.
I initiated a return. At least the seller offers free returns.
I am stil upset though. Waisted two weeks for nothing. Now I can start all over again.

The seller takes a overhead straight on camera angle and uses the same background on almost all photos. PCGS gave the coin a details cleaned grade, so a buyer should expect both sides to have been cleaned. Some coins are difficult to photograph like they appear in hand. Can you post a couple of photos of the coin? |

The coin has been repackaged and is being returned to the seller. No nothing new photos.
Case closed.
