    doesn't look like a copy, but sure looks polished and
    reverse looks to have scratches.

    I agree with Smittys. That coin looks polished although it is real.

    Well, with buyer-hostile terms like this, I would pass.

    So if you buy the coin and don't like it, you are out 15% plus the seller's ebay fees, plus you have to leave him feedback first! That would make me think that there are a lot of potential negs that never were left because people wanted their money back.


    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
