Here's is the auction I won. So the coin should look like this--OK wear and patina:  Instead, I get this--obviously buried, corroded, and scrubbed down to bare metal!   But it gets better--the seller took the photos from this auction.Obviously, the money is nothing--it's that someone wasted so much of my time.

I wouldn't normally quibble over $3 but this is deliberate deception. Filing a SNAD claim? You might get ebay to come down on the seller, which in this case would be a good thing. |

Yes, it's more on the principle of the thing. I have never filed a SNAD before--is there an easy shortcut? I certainly don't want to draw this one out much more.  |

technically he never said it was the exact coin you'd receive in the pics you were bidding on, cant he use that as an excuse?

PawnS--interesting, the seller has done it again! In my case, they're not getting nice feedback. You know it wouldn't be so bad if the sellers coin was a similar grade, but that's not the case with my coin. Edited by DVCollector

Yeah--what bugs me most is the bait-and-switch using other's pictures--despite that "100%" rating.
I may just have to do something about that--I don't care about the refund anymore.

I was willing to chalk this up to some kind of seller error--until I noticed they swiped a photo from another auction. Now it's going on their ratings.
