I have NOTHING to hide when it comes to the items I sell which is why I included 10 Pictures of this item. These pictures were taken with the item at slightly different angles. The way I see it; if you had this item in your hands, you would probably tilt it around to get a better view of it. I just want to try to give you an honest and fair look. I invite everyone to view and to see if you agree with my assessment of this item. Thank you...Jim. PAYMENT: I would like to have payment in 5 days or less, thank you. If that is not possible, please let know. If you plan on bidding on more then one item; please wait for my invoice otherwise you will end up paying S&H on each item and than I will need to refund the overage. SHIPPING & HANDLING within the U.S. and its possessions, is $3.95 for the first item, all other items will ship FREE. Highest shipping amount will apply first. Will include tracking number. (The $3.95 is the actual cost for shipping this one item. And I do not make money from the shipping cost, if anything, I lose at least .39c per item because EBay charges fees for shipping...NICE!). OVERSEAS BIDDERS: Please; NO OVERSEAS BIDDERS for this item. Thank you, Jim. RETURN POLICY: Simple...If you don't like this item, tell me and I'll refund your bid amount. I know how it feels to buy a coin, get it home, and decide you don't like it. It's not a good feeling. I've had my share of this feeling over the years. I didn't like that feeling and I know others don't like it. So, the way I see it, if I sold it, I should have no problem taking it back...right? Too many sellers say "no returns" why? You sold it!!! I don't know, maybe it's just me being old fashion. Please understand…I’m not a large business and can’t afford to eat the losses of return S+H, Pay Pal fees, nor the cost of sending an item back. I’m basically a “one man band” doing everything from start to finish. I try to provide personal attention to each and every customer. Why? Because I enjoy doing this, I want your repeat business, and I guess I’m just that kind of guy. I’m not looking to “rip off” anyone, that’s why I post larger then average scans of the items I sell. Probably some of the largest you’ll find on Ebay! Plus, a description…sometimes short, sometimes long, depending on the item. Nothing I hate more then a small picture, blurry scans, and no description. Heck…take a minute or two and make me feel good about the item I'm about to or considering buying. Thank you, Jim.
