I sold that junk trime for $5. Got this email last night:
Dear photocoin,
I bought this coin and I must say I am very dissapointed in its size. Your pics made it appear much larger than it actually is. Do you accept returns?

I just gave him the $5 back and told him to keep the coin. But, what a moron! >>
Now you have 13 people mad as hell that you just gave this valuable coin away!!!! They're dying for another chance at this numismatic gem, but you dismissed their generous bids and just gave it away!
Edit: Correction. There were only 2 people bidding, placing 14 bids. Looks like only one person will be ticked that you gave the coin away. The bidding sequence is also funny.
This has to be one of the better Ebay threads this year, along with the "shot in head" Kennedy half for $7000.
<< <i>Trimes are shockingly small - weren't they called "fish scales" when they circulated?. >>
Yup and that's why coin collectors have magnifiers and loupes. I hope some day this guy buys a $1/4 California fractional gold piece on eBay. He would faint when he sees it in hand.

Brilliant idea, had me laughing, the whole pea thing Quite possibly the dumbest feedback ever in the history of Feebay.
How about an IQ requirement, if your IQ is below 80 please refrain from bidding.
I just want to beat my head against the flat screen.
I'm certain that I could have convinced this guy to keep the coin with a little education and history. It's only $5 and there are plenty of books out there where the guy should have known better. To start questioning about such things in the middle of a transaction is lunacy!

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
If you'll notice, the 2 bidders had the same max bid. But the guy who didn't snipe it won because earlier bid takes it in a case like this. See, sniping is not always the best way to go.

Still, the buyer had some nerve asking for a refund, but it seemed like the right thing for the OP to give them back their money ...

Isn't that the smallest coin?
