Here's a real slimeball

This seller is listing a 3 cent silver that is circulated and damaged as a proof 65/66 Link. I know the coin's condition because I purchased it and returned it, and am still waiting on my refund. They said the check was in the mail last week (yeah, right). I told them the coin was not a proof, was circulated, and was damaged, they did not dispute any of that. Now they are listing it again as a proof 65/66. Here's what the coin really looks like: I believe they are using a gold reflector to make it look like it look bright and shinny. The coin in hand does not look close to what the pictures indicate. There is a small amount of luster, but nothing like in the image.

    I don't know much about 3 cent silvers, but I would guess that people would have to have blinders on to think that a proof coin would have that much weakness in the design....
    That being said, it sounds like this seller is really misrepresenting their item......image

  • You could email the high bidder and let him know what's up.

    On the other hand, the high bidder could end up being a shill account, in which case you will never see your check after telling him what a piece of junk the coin is.

    It's not a real good idea to interfere in a business transaction to which you are not a party. That can get you sued and banned from ebay.

  • If the seller keeps posting that coin with that description he can look forward
    to selling it often.
