The buyer can get a refund if they get sent the $1 coins, if in the unlikely event it was just a wrong picture and they do indeed get a $5 gold commerative then they've made a major score. Although that is probably extremely unlikely to occur.
More than a couple of brain trusts bid on this auction. What a bunch of dolts. Nobody did their homework.........
From the listing in question: Item specifics Year: 1986Certification: PCGS Composition: GoldGrade: PR 69 Detailed item info Product Identifiers MPN30775 Key Features Year1986 CountryThe United States of America Other Features Diameter21.6 millimeters CompositionGold Fineness0.9 Precious Metal Content0.24187 oz CertificationPCGS GradePR 69 And the title says $5 gold commemoratives. It's an item not as described case if the buyer chooses to do so if he gets the $1 coins.
This is written under that info: Up for bid is a lot of two one dollar gold coins. The one that has woman on the front has a mint mark of p .year2000.
I know it is, that doesn't mean that it doesn't qualify for item not as described. http://pages.ebay.com/ae/en-us/buyerprotection/sellerFAQ/index.html For "item not as described" claims, sellers may be protected from losing a case if they provide clear documentation that the item was described accurately and consistently throughout the listing and all associated communications. There isn't even a 1 in a 100 chance that the seller would be able to successfully defend a not as described complaint in my opinion.
Tinpot, I agree completely. That was my point. It is a rip off artist at work. He said what they were in "fine print". Everything else points to GOLD, GOLD, get your GOLD here! Deliberately misleading. However, you would have to be an idiot to bid.
