coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 03/06/2010 5:39 pm So I snapped up an ANACS AU-55 details 1809 half dollar with the XXX edge for $700. It had a 'cleaned' designation but the seller insisted that it was only wiped in one small spot (according to two supposed 'dealers') and that both had offered him $750. If the coin was like that, it would have been a great deal. I know that this is basically gambling (the pictures were terrible) but I have gotten deals this way before. However, it was not. I received the coin, took one look at this atrocity, and laughed. It was wiped so hard on the reverse that I was surprised it wasn't slabbed 'polished'. It was also wiped on the obverse and cleaned on the obverse as well. I thought "hey, no reasonable dealer is gonna offer $750 for this" but you never know, so I contacted the guy a few times. He completely ignored me, and I know this because when the coin arrived (I had it sent with signature confirmation) he refunded me almost immediately. We had also conversed BEFORE the auction a bit so I am sure of this. So I'm thinking the guy was lying, thinking he could cheat a newbie ebayer. I am trying to get my return shipping back, and I think thats fair because the coin was SO different than the description. I doubt I'll get it back and I will probably end up leaving a negative.....I hate jerks. Edited by coinguybrian 03/06/2010 5:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 03/06/2010 7:16 pm Got this response: Sorry .I thought it was described perfectly.You are entitled to your opinion.But as I stated you must pay return shipping!Actually I think you gotta be kidding!I thought I was being generous without charging you my shipping as is customary.and also you returned the quarter which was separate and was not refundable. I had bought a bullion quarter off him for the combined shipping discount, just threw it in because I was returning the half, lol Report this Post to the Staff
