Hello, got this on auction but the graffiti was not evident in the pictures. Seller has agreed to a refund. I thought I had gotten a good deal at $50. Just another reminder on auctions: scrutinize those pictures carefully. I am assuming this would get the 'details' designation. What would you grade it, though?

vf25 details. Seems like it was a fair price for $50. The graffiti is not that bad as far as these things go, but if these pictures were the seller's then the graffiti is very clear.

Clearly not acceptable if you wanted a straight coin, but the price should have led anyone to examine it carefully. That is always good advice and goes without saying.

Too bad, really a nice looking coin otherwise.

At least you're getting your money back, bro. Live and learn. Move on to the next deal.

Tell the seller you'll keep it if he refunds half your dough. The X's are kinda interesting. You could always give it to your sweetie on Valentine's Day. I'd say it's a VF-20.
