    Sometimes I just wish I could sit down with the buyer of a coin like this and have them walk me through their thought process before they hit the "buy" button.

    I really don't know whether to feel sorry for the buyer or anger in a case like this. At any rate it's a case of extreme gullibility.

    I wonder if the buyer has any recourse to return the coin.

    The buyer came to his senses...just in the nick of time....probably asked to cancel the sale......probably expressing uncertainty about the authenticity of the coin.....the seller...probably knowing he was scamming.....agreed to cancel....the seller...still a scammer....re-lists the same coin in the same manner.......hoping to snag a new sucker....and so it goes

    Why was the buyer spending $800 on something if he doesn't know what it is? I could understand a gullible person buying a misattributed TPG slabbed coin because they are putting blind faith in what the label says, but buying a raw coin you better know how to identify what it is for yourself.
