Ike variety and responsibility

First I would like to say I have bought and sold to this e-bay seller and have been entirely happy in every way.
I have no question as to their honesty at all. That being said I bid on this Ike variety. link
Now I receive an e-mail from another e-bayer saying the variety is not what it is stated to be. I questioned the
seller and he said he has not verified the variety himself but the person he purchased it from says it is and that person is published in this area.(no name was used). There is also no stated return policy for this auction and none was extended when I contacted the seller as the high bidder.
My question is first can anyone verify from the auction pictures this is the variety listed in Cherrypickers' ? Second would it be improper for me to withdraw my bid now with 4 hours left in the auction? Basically shame on me for not making sure before I bid.
When I e-mailed the seller I was hopping he would say it absolutely was the variety.
Thanks Joe

I think it's the real deal.
<< <i>1971-S Ike Dollar Doubled Die FS-015.8 and DDO#6 Prf-65! >>
It does look like FS-015.8 but DDO #6, I believe is an unc coin, not a proof. It may be DDO #22.
I agree the auction pic looks like the one in Cherrypickers'. 15.8 in Cherrypickers' is listed as a proof.
I have never retracted a bid before but I did rely on facts stated in auction and Cherrypickers'.
That said, the coin certainly looks doubled and is a proof. Not sure of the variety.
Also sounds a bit high for such a coin, but it is neat doubling. I've never been able to get a big premium for Ike erros like this, but looks like someone else is.
Good Luck with the decision.

Sullivan Numismatics to cancel the bid. They said no, I may return it if it was not properly described.
So I will pay thru PayPal with a credit card so I have 2 places to dispute the charge if need be.

"go out on a limb" that far for a DDO Proof Ike.
NEAT looking doubled die, though!
