  The coin looks nice, mabey a touch dark but nice; but I'd bet that you were shilled and the seller(also the winning bidder) is offering to you as a way to max your bid. As far as price goes I do'nt follow the series so I cannot say if thats good or bad.

  That was the first thing that I thought too so I checked his feedback and he has numerous transactions with russ (compucheap) so I thought he would be ok.

  Nice looking example of a tough coin.
  
  The price seems about right.

  Im sure its just the pics, but I dont see much (any) luster, and I would expect to see quite a bit on a 58.

  WOW........... that's gonna look very nice in the old 7070
  
  
  Congrat's, I also think its a fair price.
  
  Also, I think its going to look much better than the sellers images!

  Here is the one I bought in hand as an AU-58. I think you did real well on yours.

  Looks good, price is right, and the sellers pictures all have the white balance off, so it will problably look better than his images.
  Only thing wrong is it is in white plastic.
