Mystic2 Valued Member United States 147 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 10:43 pm I bought a silver maine quarter ng pr69 for 9$ on the bay the holder was damaged. It didnt look bad but when I got it the quarter was crooked in the holder and it looked as if someone glued the holder back together. Needless to say I cracked it open the coin was silver and now I feel like an idiot. Would you have done the same or did I overreact? Sorry for the run ons I'm on my mobile Report this Post to the Staff

Next time if your buying on ebay make sure the sellers pictures are clear and that if anything looks suspicious about the coin think twice before pulling the trigger. Report this Post to the Staff

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5201 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 11:31 pm If the coin was not as described (damaged holder) you could have gotten your money back through ebay buyer protection. Since you opened / tampered further with the holder now you own it. Lesson learned. If you are not happy with a purchase for whatever reason (damaged slab, cleaned, etc) it will always bother you every time you look at the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

I would be irritated if someone wanted to return a coin for rotation in a holder, something that has no effect on the coin or its value Report this Post to the Staff

Wish you had been more careful and noticed the damage before proceeding further. Did you speak about the possibilities of return in the initial conversation you had from the buyer? And if you can't then feel good that you got a silver maine quarter for $9 :) Report this Post to the Staff
