I have done business with this seller many times before, but he has an altered date capped half for sell as the real thing. It's an 1830's bust design with a recarved date and recarved LIBERTY. I don't want him kicked off eBay, and I already messaged him. Perhaps if a few others stated the same thing, he'll remove it. Thanks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1815-Bust-H...92?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item2588590d20
If you report it they will just consider pulling the listing, they may or may not unless they get enough complaints. You could put the word out through the JR society, Brad Karoleff knows these coins backwards and forward, email him.
Glad to see he did the right thing. Altered date, tooled Liberty, that coin was seriously messed with.
Yeah, it says the seller ended it, which makes me feel better. He's always been a good seller in my experience. Hard to believe that one could get by him. The other day I bought a counterfeit 1833 half cent. It was a buy-it-now and AFTER I bought it, but before I paid, I realized the date looked "funny." Sure enough it was a fake and the seller had dozens of other fakes listed of various dates and denominations, mixed in with some genuine coins. I contacted the seller and she released me of my obligation to buy it. All the listings were ended by the end of the day. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1833-Classi...68?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item27dd67c6c0
It is borderline unethical for sellers to be offering coins over certain dollar figures unless they are certified; I know no other major market selling medium that allows sellers to offer expensive and uncertified coins. What would be the buyer's recourse after a couple weeks examination of the coin?
