So me being me bid on this just to see will come in the mail saying that it says 1960 proof yet what's pictured is a 1955 bugs bunny. So I guess we will see and if I don't like it I'll return it.

I would have contacted the seller and ask to make sure before placing a bid or BIN. Saves a lot of hassle on both of you.

I would not have taken the gamble. You'll probably get the 1960 proof Franklin item 123084315626 . I would ask for a refund before it ships. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. Hope you get lucky.

I wouldn't have bid if the photo and description didn't match. Who knows what you'll get?

Like I said before me being me a gambler was curious and was willing to take the gamble it'll be here tomorrow or Saturday so I press my luck all the time sometimes get lucky sometimes I lose but who knows could be a pf69 DDO or could be an impaired proof or not even a 1960 at all that is the thrill of it now if it were over 20 bucks I wouldn't risk it

Now if the auction stated the coin you see is the exact coin you will receive you would have a case. Do keep us posted.

Contact the seller before bidding in situations like this.

I thought I was the only one to do something like you just did.
I am interested now to see if you get the Bugs Bunny as pictured or a beat up proof.
