    Hate to argue but it says unopened and even has a different date than the one I got

    Unopened rolls.

    Opened box.

    He states it in the auction description...

    The auction linked is for two unopened rolls in an opened box.

    OK, I should read more carefully. Thanks.
    Thought it was cheap.

    This is where it pays to read carefully as it can easily be deceptive.
    The title is what most will focus on and most will assume "unopened" is the box as well, but the picture AND the text say the box is open and the rolls themselves are not opened.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I had a recent buyer say they were unhappy that they purchased a PR68 Lincoln from me and wanted to return it because they thought it was a 69. It was extremely clear in the description, I had pictures of the problems listed, and I even stated the coin had problems... I guess some people will never read the description and then get mad when they see what they purchased...

    Not only open, but two rolls of D Mint.....

    I was going to say it would be great to open the roll and fine a bunch of DDR's but then I actually read the description..."Two D rolls"

    Oh well...image
