A 1/10 oz Irish "gold" coin which is just gold plated. I just wanted 1 gold coin for my collection and he was offering it for a good price. And it was someone from craigslist (which was stupid on my part, but I don't collect gold so I thought I would take a chance). Learned a valuable lesson that I already knew about by not buying on a site like craigslist, which I have never done before this. I was going to buy more Peace dollars instead and just should have stuck to that.
Wanted to bump this and show that I am very happy that the guy who burned me got caught doing a lot worse. http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/988250-469/police-say-manchester-man-bought-coins-then.html
You got scammed by a guy who made the news (even if it was a local news network). Cool! I mean, not for you, but he got what he deserved.
