This I guess?

Looks like a copy and paste job, they should give you a refund on it and cover your grading fee.

The images are pretty crappy on that auction listing But the "Proof FDC" in the description is very clear, I would expect a Lot better behaviour from "Universalcoinco"
It reminds me of the numerous dodgy eBay listings that have crappy images with a very generous description of the coin in the details of the listing :dodgy:

It looks like an honest mistake to me, I wouldn't hold it against them, everyone makes mistakes - what matters is how they deal with it.

Thanks Eric, as Walter said people make mistakes. I deal with them all the time and they have been very helpful.

I make mistakes all the time so this is not something I would worry about.

There are die polish marks in the denticles above CE and a die polish line in SIX. I don't think the proofs have those. Also the beading on the obverse is a little weak and the shield and banner are weakly struck (they are crisp on proofs that I have seen). Your dealer needs to do his homework about identifying proofs from circulation strike chrome  dies.

PR or MS. Is there an outstanding characteristic on a 1962 sixpence that identifies the coin as a proof. Have been viewing some 1962 sixpences..MS66 and PR66 and they both look very similar to me..

Hey All, I had an email from the seller today requesting my bank details to provide a full refund including grading fees.

I am very happy and thats why it is always important to have an open mind and ask nicely.:wavemulticolor:

That's great to hear AP, and agree wholeheartedly with what you said :yahoo:

Thanks Auto.. Very few things upsets me now.  Good to be happy and open minded than angry and miserable !
