    The damage was accurately disclosed...

    So what about it?

    Well Brian I do not see written disclosure In the title or in the written description. The only thing I see is a statement of " See pictures for condition", This is not a disclosure of damage.

    ...I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that a blind person reading a screen with their fingers shouldn't be buying coins online by themselves. It's hard enough for people who have 20/20 vision to recognize problem-coins from still-shot photos from a computer screen.

    LOL...there is demand for keydate hole fillers. I sold an 8 sided vg 1864 Dime a couple a years ago on the bay and it brought close to $500!

    Edit to add the denomination! image

    It would have been more accurate IMO if he used the word "damaged " in his title and description but the word "details" should tell anyone who knows something about coin grading that something is up. If I was blind, I would have to ask someone what is the issue with the coin that required him to use the word "details".

    If I was the sighted person, I would also tell my blind friend that he may have undergraded the coin. image

    It's FleaBag - don't worry about it. If you really want an inexpensive 1877 Indian Cent, I'm sure many of the forum posters here can point you in the right direction.

    That is close to the worst 1877 cent I've ever seen. The worst one was not much more than a disk of metal with "1877" readable on it. The guy who had it said he found it at the beach, and I tended to think he was telling the truth. This one may have been from a similar source. He couldn't $20 for that one, but it was 30 years ago.

    So long as you have a picture and a description, I don't see a problem with offering it. I think that the price might be high, but maybe that is just me.

    This is probably why many sellers no longer write a description. Just include an image.

    Is something assumed to be problem free if nothing is said, or is something assumed to have problems if nothing is said? Not sure there is a right answers.

    Bottom line is there is nothing wrong with the item listing unless you do not get the coin in the image.
