Pictures do tell a thousand words though. Perhaps the person doing the catalog description forgot to write "This mint state 1921 Lincoln Cent exhibits exceptional lack of eye appeal. Discriminating collectors will note the verdant surfaces of the coin that some would call environmental damage, but we believe is just earthy toning." YUCK
I hastily removed it from its holder upon receit barely giving the obverse a glance. As it is removed from the holder
the coin is mine. I was just suprised.
The issue I would have is not that it was sold as MS60, but that no description of the verdigris was offered (typical).

this should be mentioned in the description if there is no scan. Like I said shame on me for being in so much
of a hurry not to take a good look before removing it from the holder.
Now, having said that, IMO I don't think your actions (removing it from the holder) mitigate the responsibility of the seller to make this up to you. Granted, technically they have no reason to fix this because you removed it from the holder. However, personally I think calling this coin an MS-60 RB with no further description is a gross mis-representation of the coins condition, and just plain wrong. Personally I think you should let them know your displeasure, and I hope they will make it right and let you return it. If not, I think you have found a seller that you should never, ever, do business with again, or recommend to anyone else.
In short, I think you have been $crewed.
