Good. As you implied, consider this $43 as "tuition" toward a numismatic education! Still, since I'm sure you overpaid on the coin by far more than $43 given its actual condition, I'd say "way to go!"
Hello Everyone I have been notified by PayPal that although I am not at fault, they are now required by law to refund any payment on items purchased on the internet when the item is returned in its original condition! As recommended by PayPal, I will file civil suit. In the interim, PayPal’s out of court settlement makes it simple for you to continue to scam anybody you choose on eBay!

You are a baldfaced liar. PayPal does not send an email like that when they find against a seller for delivering an item that is severely misrepresented. If you weren't so pathetic, you would be funny.
PayPal cannot reccomend you file a civil suit...to do so would be tantamount to offering legal advice, which they most certainly would never do. They also do not indicate any judgement as to who was at fault, to do so would set themselves up to be brought in for legal action.

I could believe #1 if poe58's explanation was a bad paraphrase of "while we are not assessing blame to anyone..." (which wouldn't surprise me) -- but there's no way I believe #2 happened. PayPal isn't about to give legal advice. I've never seen anything like this, and while I could be persuaded to believe that they may say something like "if you believe you have been wronged, consider hiring an attorney for possible legal action," there's NO way they dispense outright legal advice telling anyone what they SHOULD do legally.

Don't hold your breath. He won't post it because he never received an email with such wording, and if he did post a supposed email like that, PayPal would tell you that they don't send account holders emails like that.
Hello K6AZ If your IQ were high enough you might learn to use a telephone. I did this morning. The follow up email (from PayPal) will be sent to Matthew! They did not find that I misrepresented the item! Only a fool speaks of things he doesn’t know. In this case, that is what you have done!
Yeah right, you are a con artist. PayPal does not send emails such as you quoted. You can continue with this all you want, but you have been exposed for the coin fraud that you are. You lost, and you are still here trying to save face with some pretty outlandish statements. Give it up before you really hurt yourself.
My perspective on this is based off of Matt and Poe's posts, Paypal is riding the fence in the hopes they will ensure that they continue to receive fees from both Poe and matt. Congratulations, Matt and sorry to hear you are out the $43.00

Thanks for finding the listing and linking. After seeing the photo, it is plain to even my not so very well trained eyes, that the scratching IS visible most plainly to the right side of the obverse. The camera angle and lighting do hide a lot of it, but not all. I have purchased quite a few 'bodybagged' coins over the years, (all of them identified as such by the sellers), so I've become fairly adept at spotting them when I see them in auction photos. The damage mirrors that on my 1892 Barber Quarter which would likely get a MS 66-67 grade if not for the fact that it looks as though it was scrubbed with a soft bristle toothbrush in almost exactly the same places where the scratching is evident on this coin.
Shame on the seller for trying to pass this off as something other than what it was, but I have to say, if a less experienced collector like myself can see the scratches, why couldn't the buyer? (No offense intended)
The rim nick is blatant. Even a newb could see that. IMO the buyer is being too conservative in the amount that he feels this detracts from the coin. If it was just the rim nick alone, even without the scratches, I still wouldn't pay a MS price for this coin.
Oh, and just to maintain peace, goodwill and harmony, the above was not intended to berate or belittle anybody, it is just an expression of my opinion. We all have gotten taken a time or two by people like this, so let's not get into a big war over it, OK?

It's truly funny, no make that truly sad, that people in this day and age are so wrapped up in their own little world that they refuse to try and teach someone else the correct or accepted way of doing things.
Thanks for finding the listing and linking. After seeing the photo, it is plain to even my not so very well trained eyes, that the scratching IS visible most plainly to the right side of the obverse. The camera angle and lighting do hide a lot of it, but not all. I have purchased quite a few 'bodybagged' coins over the years, (all of them identified as such by the sellers), so I've become fairly adept at spotting them when I see them in auction photos. The damage mirrors that on my 1892 Barber Quarter which would likely get a MS 66-67 grade if not for the fact that it looks as though it was scrubbed with a soft bristle toothbrush in almost exactly the same places where the scratching is evident on this coin.
Shame on the seller for trying to pass this off as something other than what it was, but I have to say, if a less experienced collector like myself can see the scratches, why couldn't the buyer? (No offense intended)
The rim nick is blatant. Even a newb could see that. IMO the buyer is being too conservative in the amount that he feels this detracts from the coin. If it was just the rim nick alone, even without the scratches, I still wouldn't pay a MS price for this coin.
Oh, and just to maintain peace, goodwill and harmony, the above was not intended to berate or belittle anybody, it is just an expression of my opinion. We all have gotten taken a time or two by people like this, so let's not get into a big war over it, OK?
