I found this coin on ebay, and am considering making an offer. The images leave a lot to be desired. The coin seems to be a pretty high grade. Note the obverse stain. On the reverse at about 10 O'clock the rim looks like it might be a little bent.

My best advice is to avoid problem coins - you'll find them an even bigger problem someday when you try to sell them.

If it's $60 or less than go for it. Otherwise, take a hard pass. Not worth investing in a details coin that will be very hard to sell.

You really need better images plus a full description which includes accurate weight,
plus
an unquestioned return policy.

Get out of your own mind and put yourself in the mind of a probable buyer.
To help you with this, read all of the posts in this thread.

Reverse picture suggests heavy sideways impact damage to my eye. Stain obviously detracts from eye appeal. Both heavily detract from value.

To be good value for money, this coin has to sustain a huge reduction in purchase price. Included in that price will be the shipping fees.

Thanks to everyone for feedback. The seller won't take a low offer and I won't go higher.
