Well I got this coin from a seller on ebay. Username: collectibles-pickers

I guess we can always learn new lessons about pictures we look at when buying a coin adn surely will be much more careful next time when purchasing a coin from a scanned picture unless it has other pictures that are normal that shows the coin in its true colors like I take. As you can see the two scans I got. Well take a good look at what the coin I received really was. The scratches are on the casing and the coin is what it is and all, its details are great, but its tarnishing? WOW! Not at all what you would expect to receive! The back was great, but the face of the coin? Half the coin is tarnished black. So I am sure I will lose money on this from what I paid for it even though its a decent coin, its just not the high quality price I paid for it. I jt posted the seller account name to show you that if you ever buy from him, that you might want to ask him if the coin he is selling is what the picture is?

Would you?
