It was well spotted purple penny. I'm glad I didn't go for the coin in the end. I just had a bad feeling about it, especially due to the lack of communication when I asked questions. It was just a waste of time!
The coin was sold/won at auction with no reserve and paid for. Therefore the coin is no longer the sellers in my opinion (not that it was in the first place by the look of it). Just refunding the money doesn't cut it for me and I certainly wouldn't have left positive feedback. A neutral feedback would have been more appropriate otherwise how do future buyers know what transpired.
