Don't forget ... "Never buy a raw coin of eBay" ... "All sellers overgrade their stuff and they are all crooks" .... "eBay is FeeBay etc" "to much fraud going on ebay" ... "buy or sell only from the BST" ............... etc etc etc.. Great score ... congratulations ....
"Bongo drive 1984 Lincoln that looks like old coin dug from ground."
As an aside, I find it ironic to note that if the tables were turned and a dealer bought this coin from a collector for that, we would be stringing them up right about now -- although an open ebay auction does shoot that argument in the toe, so to speak.
Regardless, congrats on the grade!

Buying raw coins on eBay is like playing Russian roulette---you can win but sooner or later..................
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

True, but the odds are better with Russian roulette.

Do you have the ebay seller's pics? That would be interesting to see.....
And, MikeinFL.....since it was ebay, I think things are a little different than your analogy of stringing a dealer up by their toes for buying it from a collector at that price.
It also makes a difference on the pics in the auction and how it was stated.
I think it's cool for the OP....and, I am interested to see how it was sold. Maybe it was one of those micro-view shots that are fuzzier than peach

Bought the coin in November, sent it in January and got it back last week.

"Reading" crappy eBay photos is a very useful cherrypicking skill.

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
