    I'll give you an F if you're asking us to rate how you set up a link.

    I think you paid too much... I wouldn't have paid more than $6-$7 for the 3...

    The link was not set up right, don't get all upset. I see you've corrected it, wtg.

    Looks like you bought about $8 worth of Indian Cents.

    I didnt get stiffed. That would imply the seller was wrong. My ignorance caused me to overbid

    No, you didn't get stiffed. You got stiffed™.

    No offense, but I think you really overspent on those coins. If those were in a coin dealer's IHC box, they would probably be priced at about $1.50 to $1.75 each. I would seriously ask the seller if he/she would let you back out of the deal.

    Unless there is something special about those coins that I don't see, you way over paid.

    But if YOU like the coins, and feel good about what you spent, that's all that matters.

    I think you should have at least checked the RED BOOK. in VG all three would be equal to 9.95$. I have made the same mistake in the past. Learn for the future.

    No offense, but I think that has become my #1 on my "numismatic phrases that I absolutely hate"™ list- getting ripped off is not ok, even if the buyer doesn't know it yet!!!
    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !

    If you're happy I'll say great---but IMHO you over paid.

    OK, given the previous posts--you were ripped off--don't do it again or if you do, don't ask or you will be severely punished, ridiculed, etc. ! Is that better than "Be Happy!" guys?

    Bluntness on this forum has saved me a ton of money. I'd much rather express gratitude and swallow my pride than p*ss away money on Ebay.

    you did okay - are you a indian head ollector or just for your type set?

    a couple have a little corrosion it seems

    $30+ delivered seems a little pricey for the 3


    you should buy some more from this guy to lower your shipping and do some cost averaging

    I recommend this lot 1860 and 1864

    the 1860 looks miserable but the 1864 sure looks nice - and maybe it will have one of those little L's hid in its headband/feathers

    don't mind these other people - they just wish they could have more buyers bid 3-4x what they feel the lot is worth on their auctions - jealous I guess
